I have two movie clips ‘mvC1’ and ‘mvc2’ in my array ‘itemArray’. i want to add one pair of each movie clip on the stage.  
for some reason my code is not working…please can anyone help me…

```auto

var itemArray:Array = new Array();
            var mv1:Rec = new Rec();
            var mv2:Rec = new Rec();
            itemArray.push(mv1);
            itemArray.push(mv2);
            for(var i:uint =0; i<4; i++){
                if(i<2){
                    addChild(itemArray*);
                    itemArray*.x = Math.random()*400;
                    itemArray*.y = Math.random()*200;
                    //trace("1st");
                }else{
                    addChild(itemArray[i-2]);
                    itemArray[i-2].x = Math.random()*300;
                    itemArray[i-2].y = Math.random()*100;
                    //trace("2nd "+itemArray[i-2].x+" : "+itemArray[i-2].y);
                }
                
            }

```
