Creating a movie clip instance?

[Father_Chaos]

First of all, I'm new to Flash and the forums so hi everyone :D!

Okay, so I created a bullet movie clip, and I'm just wondering how could I make it so that when the user clicks anywhere on the screen with the mouse, it creates an instance of the bullet.

Thanks!

var count:Number = 0;
this.onMouseDown = function(){
count++;
bullet_mc.duplicateMovieClip("bullet"+count, count);
};

It didn't work :(...

Shouldn't I use attachMovie?

[oldnewbie]

var count:Number = 0;
this.onMouseDown = function(){
count++;
this.attachMovie("bullet_mc","bullet"+count, count);
this["bullet"+count]._x = this._xmouse;
this["bullet"+count]._y = this._ymouse;
};

Or, if you drag an instance of the clip off-stage, and give it the instance name of bullet_mc...

var count:Number = 0;
this.onMouseDown = function(){
count++;
bullet_mc.duplicateMovieClip("bullet"+count, count);
this["bullet"+count]._x = this._xmouse;
this["bullet"+count]._y = this._ymouse;
};

Thanks a lot, it works now!

Oh yeah, and I live one hour northwest from Montreal, go Canada ;)!
