duplicating MC's help

[scot]

I'm new to this so.......


for (i=0; i<10; i++) {
duplicateMovieClip("item0", ["item"+i], _root.mc);
_root.mc["item"+i]._y = _root.mc["item"+i]._y + 20 ;
_root.mc["item"+i].itemId = i;
_root.mc["item"+i].qty = _root.arraytemp.items[i][5];
_root.mc["item"+i].name = _root.arraytemp.items[i][0];
}


for some reason it doesnt create the item+i and move it down a little bit.............. any ideas.... or does this code a piece of !(%$#_@!$

Try this:

menuItemSpacing = 20;
numberOfButtons = 10;
for (i=1; i<=numberOfButtons; i++) {
    _root.item0._x = 21;
    _root.item0._y = 93;
    _root.item0.duplicateMovieClip("item"+i, i);
    _root["item"+i]._y = _root["item"+(i-1)]._y+_root["item"+(i-1)]._height+menuitemspacing;
}
