Hi there,

Still in the process of learning AS3 and was wondering how to attach multiple instances of a movieclip to the stage. In AS2 I would do the following:

```auto
for(var i = 1; i <= 10; i++){
attachMovie("myMovie", "myMovie" + i, i);
}

```

but I can’t figure out how to do this with AS3.

Any ideas?

Bob
