Hello, i have a bunch of movie clips in my library, with the linkage turned on.

i would like to add them to my stage, but using a variable to access them.

the clips/linkage are names like 'mc1' 'mc2' 'mc3' etc

so how would i do something like this?


var clipVar:String = "mc1"

var newMC:[clipVar] = new [clipVar]()

thanks for any help!

if the linkage name is mc1 then you can add then like this:

var whateverName:mc1 = new mc1();
whateverName.x = 100;
whateverName.y = 100;

addChild(whateverName);

Hope that helps
