Hi, can someone tell me how to do it:

```auto

private function init_mc(_container){
            _envir = new Enviroiment3D()
            for (var i=0;i<3;i++){
                var _newMC:MovieClip = new ball
                _newMC.name = "ball"+i
                _container.addChild(_newMC)
                mcArray.push(_newMC)
                _newMC.x = 100*i
            
                //trace(_envir)
                _newMC.cacheAsBitmap=true
                _envir.init(mcArray*,10-i*50,-100,0)
}

```

when i trace (\_newMC) i have “instance5,instance7,instance9” but i want name of this mc,  
what i do wrong… only one mc is using \_envir.init() why…
