Refering to a MC

[Neolumi]

Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble getting my head round this, I have some xml which is looping through and putting movieclips on the stage:

var currentThumb_mc = port.attachMovie("port_item", "thumbnail_mc"+i,i);

how would i refer to the previous movieclip that was output, i've tried all sorts like:
x = port.currentThumb_mc + (i - 1);

anytime I try to strict data type the variable to object or movieclip it doesnt work, every once in a i while i get a NaN (Not a Number) error when tracing.

thanks!

try this


x = port["currentThumb_mc" + (i-1)]
