How do I make a movie clip duplicate 50 times on a stage of 800x600 and animate each randomly on the stage, each starting from on point and all spreading randomly across the stage togather.. Also each movie clip should scale to 1% and the alpha sholud fade out to 0%....phew...

and can anyone give me the script for this in Flash 4.0


very very urgent...

Thanks in advance

Did you try to simly copy it and paste it in 50 different frames?
After that in each frame I would create a motion tween
where the end of the motion will be 1% in size and 0 in Alpha
hope it helps

Alternatively, use a simple loop (code done in Flash 5 because I don't have 4, but same principle):

1. Create an MC and use it with an instance name "mc0".
2. Edit the code below to give you the kind of display you want.

// Set this to change the number of movies
numberofmovies = "50";
// Set up the loop
movieindex = 0;
while (movieindex < numberofmovies) {
// Duplicate the movieclip "mc0" using a generated name
duplicateMovieClip ("mc0", "mc" add movieindex, movieindex);
//
//
// Change whatever properties you want here
// for the newly duplicated movie
setProperty ("mc" add movieindex, _x, random( 550 ));
setProperty ("mc" add movieindex, _y, random( 400 ));
//
//
// VERY IMPORTANT!
// Don't forget to increment the counter
// or you get an endless loop = MESSY!
movieindex = movieindex + 1;
}

3. You can either use code to move the duplicated MCs or build an animation.
