I’ve used this code in the first frame of my main movie.

```auto

follow_array=["fm0","fm1","fm2","fm3","fm4"]
for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
	follow_me_tmp.duplicateMovieClip(follow_array*,i);
}

```

The problem is that I want to access each individual mc:s properties like their \_x and \_y.

Like this:

for (a=0; a\<5; a++) {  
endY = \_root.follow\_array[a].\_y;  
}

But that doenst work, how can I target the, follow\_array[a] properies like \_x and \_y ???
