Need help with storing loop value in movieclip

[gazc]

This is really holding me up, so I hope someone can help me fast.

I need to store each value of my for loop in a separate instance of my movieclip, but the movieclip only seems to pick up the last value of the loop.

Why is this and can I do this any other way apart from storing the value in a textfield or creating a loop within the movieclip?

can show copy/paste the code

In the end I got it to work by combining two methods. I used the following code:

in main timeline:

for (var i=0; i < 3; i++){
this.attachMovie("mcClip","clip"+i,i);
this["clip"+i].count=i;
}

in mcClip:

var loopval=count;
// this was set to 0 previously, which blanked out the loaded value.
this.onPress = function(){
trace(loopval);
}

thought this might help anyone who is having the same problem.

attachMovie, Loadmovie, gotoplay etc all are executed after all the frame code is executed.

so do something like this

// frame 5
for (var i=0; i < 3; i++){
this.attachMovie("mcClip","clip"+i,i);
}
// frame 7
for (var i=0; i < 3; i++){
this["clip"+i].count=i;
}
