So you could do it like this: for(var i:Number =0;i < acRate; i++){ this['p'+i] = new MovieClip(); this['p'+i].x = i*10; this['p'+i].y = i*10; } But that's not really good OOP. What you should do instead is build an array of references to your movie clips, like this: var clips:Array = new Array(); for(var i:Number =0;i < acRate; i++){ clips[i] = new MovieClip(); clips[i].x = i*10; clips[i].y = i*10; } ryanm _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
