for(var i:Number = 1; i < ln; i++) {
var newY:Number = i * (container._height + spacer);
duplicate = container.duplicateMovieClip("clip-" + i, i, {_y:newY});
trace(duplicate); // _level0.clip-[number]
}
function setUpContainer():MovieClip {
var mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
var w:Number = 100;
var h:Number = 20;
mc.beginFill(0x333333);
