23. Select the layer actions and on frame 1 of that layer give the following action in the action window:

24. Choose Windows > Actions

//Variable xgridlines is defined for number of grid lines on x axis//
xgridlines = 11;

//Variable ygridlines is defined for number of grid lines on y axis//
ygridlines = 21;

//Variable distance is defined for the distance between each grid //
distance = 30;

// set property function is used to make the square movieclip invisible //
setProperty ("square", _visible, false);

// Variable k is used in the forloop given below for giving different instance name to the duplicated movieclips //
k = 0;

// Making a nested forloop for duplicating the square movieclip /
for (j=1; j<=xgridlines-1; j++) {
for (i=1; i<=ygridlines-1; i++) {
// duplicating the square movieclip //
duplicateMovieClip ("square", "square"+k, k);
// setting the x position of the duplicated square movieclips //
setProperty ("square"+k, _x, distance*i);
// setting the y position of the duplicated square movieclips //
setProperty ("square"+k, _y, distance*j);
// incrementing the value of k //
k++;
}
}


For Placing the grid movieclip at proper position in the movie:

25. Choose Window > Panels > Scene

26. Select Scene 1 from the scene window

27. Select the grid movieclip which is there in the scene
