I would like to have a MC that spawns (duplicateMovieClip) x number of instances of itself, names these instances unique names (like stat1, stat2, stat3, etc), and have all these instances run rampant within a boundary, always testing for collision. Upon collision, I would like to script them to bounce away from each other like billiard balls. I think I have the random movement, boundary, and basic hitTest ideas down, but i need help with the spawning, adding new names, and checking for multiple collisions constantly. Can someone please lend a hand? Many thanks.
