1. Open Flash by clicking on the Flash Icon on the dock:


  2. Create a new document. Make sure it is Actionscript 2


  3. Save (+SHIFT+S) document in work folder:


  4. Create a new movie clip symbol. Use the basic shapes to create some design:


  5. Place an instance of the movie clip in frame 1 of layer 1. Name the instance prettyshape

  6. Create a new layer and name it actions

  7. Open the Actionscript window and set the variable counter to 1

  8. You want to repeat this action everytime the playhead enters the frame. Use clip_name.onMouseUp=function())

  9. Inside the function you want to write the code that duplicates the movie clips and shrinks it: 
    	//set counter to 0
	__________________
	
	//create a for loop starting at 50, 
	//continuing as long as it is greater than 0, 
	//decrement by 1
	______________________________
		
	//remove each movieclip _root[clip_name+loop_variable]
		_______________.removeMovieClip();
		}
	
	//set the movie clip's horizontal location to the the mouse's horizontal loc	
	________=_xmouse;
	
	//set the movie clip's vertical location to the the mouse's vertical loc	
	this._y=________;
	
	this.onEnterFrame=function(){
	
	//write a conditional that tests if counter is less than 50
	_____________________
	
	
	//duplicate this movie clip, rename it to "prettyshape"+counter and set the depth level
	//to counter
		this.duplicateMovieClip(______________________);
		
	//set the _rotation property to twice the current counter
		setProperty(_root["prettyshape"+ counter], _rotation, counter*2);
	
	//set the _xscale property to 100 minus twice the counter
		____________________________________________________________
		
		
	//set the _yscale property to 100 minus twice the counter
		____________________________________________________________
	
	//increment counter by 1
		____________
		
	}else{
	
	//create a for loop that starts with a value of 50,
	//continues until as long as it is greater than 0,
	//and decrements by 1 each step
		___________________________
		
		//you refer to each shape as _root[name] where
		//name is "prettyshape" plus something
		//on each clip call the removeMovieClip function
			___________________________________________
		}
		
		//set counter to some number to repeat animation
		_________________
	}
    }	
}
