These were made acccording to mouse movement. The more abrupt the movement the more chaotic the design.
Make two layers in the _root level.
Name one 'actions'.
Name the other 'body'.
Select frame 1 of the 'actions' layer and paste the code below into the actions panel.

That takes care of the duplication as well as the actual drawing and properties of the object. Next we have to make our object.
Select the 'body' layer.
Make a basic graphic. Circle, square, triangle whatever. The smaller the better. I have the height and width at 1.
Select the graphic, press F8 and make it a movieClip called 'body'.
In the properties panel name the instance 'body'
Double-click the 'body' movieClip on the stage.
Make another layer inside the MovieClip and select frame 1
In the actions panel type:
_parent.num+=1;
This makes sure that we don't endlessly duplicate the MovieClip until our computer finally crashes. Once _parent.num reaches 50 it will stop duplicating. You can change the number by altering the variable maxNum on the _root level.

Lasticity but not leasticity the elasticity...
select your movieClip on the _root level and then in the actions panel type:
