Duplicate a sprite across layout

Hi there,

I'm wondering how I would duplicate a sprite multiple times across the layout, each one at x amount from the previous one created?

Basically what I'm doing is:

I have a rain sprite, that is 32 pixels wide, that I'd like to cover the full layout, to create the illusion of rain. But I'd rather not cover the whole layout editor in instances of it, so I thought it might be possible with an event at the start of the layout.

Hopefully that makes sense.

Any help would be very much appreciated

Thanks

This is a test i made for creating stuff in loops. It's not exactly what you wanted but i'm sure you can use the same idea: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4322334/forlooppi.cap

Awesome, thanks so much. Works like a charm.

I have a feeling this is really going to come in handy for future stuff.
