hi all,  
I am new to actionscript.  
I have a movie clip (mc)in my library. The Movieclip has a dynamic text whose instance is “dynamic\_txt”.

I need to create copies of movieclip and each dynamic\_txt within that mc, want to assign a value.

for (i=1 , i\< 20, i++) {  
mymc = mc add i;

duplicatemovieclip(mc, mymc,10);

\_level0.mymc.dynamic\_txt.text = i

}

However, "\_level0.mymc.dynamic\_txt.text = i " is giving me compilation error.  
will it be

\_level0.[‘mymc’].dynamic\_txt.text = i

or

\_level0.‘mymc’.dynamic\_txt.text = i

or anything else.

I have tried few combination and either its compilation error or not working as requried. Pls help.  
thanks  
Sam
