figure out what the max number of thumnails you might need is, and put
that many sprites on in the frame. then only use the ones you need, and
either make the other ones invisible, or move the others offstage. you
don't really need to create sprites on the fly, though that can be done.
and be careful with the distinction between cast members and sprites.
you don't need to duplicate a cast member to have 2 of them on the
stage. that is exactly what sprites are for.
hope this helps...
