I have based this on something I downloaded from flashcfm.com. Perhaps it
was written in Flash 4, but it still seems to be working in Flash 5, it is
just my lack of knowledge taht is letting me down.

I am actually not "converting" from Flash 4 to Flash 5. I am redoing it from
an old DHTML version, so I am throwing myself in the deep end really!

What you have suggested works in some parts but not others. For instance it
doesn't like this:

duplicateMovieClip (clip, eval("clip" + i), i);

I still need a way to get the variable from the CFM to the loop where the
duplicates are created. Any ideas on that?

Nick
