Duplicate Movieclip Function

Hi all,

I'm working on a creating a button that will create (preferably unlimited) duplicates of one movie clip. I have something that works for Flash, pre-2004, but I'd like to update it to Actionscript 2.

Any suggestions? (Movieclip's instance name is "Cat").

Button:

on (press) {

i = i + 1;

duplicateMovieClip (_root.cat, "cat" + i, i);

}

Actionscript on the Movieclip object:

onClipEvent (load) {

   scale = (random(10) + 50)

   this._x = random(400);

   this._y = random(400);

   this._alpha = random(100);

   this._xscale = scale;

   this._yscale = scale;

}
