Heyya,

Did you put a trace on "x"? trace it inside the loop if you haven't already,

and see if you can get a better idea what's going on.

It *might* be a problem to name the duplicate movie clip as the same name as

the original (I don't know for sure, but you might consider naming the

original something else). Also I believe you need a / on the new name as

well, since you would want it to be set on the main timeline yes? (although

I don't think that would cause the code not to loop). So you'd want

Duplicate Movie Clip ("/dot1", "/dot"&x, 1). You might also run traces on

"/dot1" and "dot"&x to make sure it's finding them properly.
