Hello - im stuck on a probably simple problem.  
I have an array of images and i wan to populate some holders.  
heres the code

```auto
this.pArray = new Array(image);
this.pArray = image.split(", ");
total = this.pArray.length;

i = 0;
while (i<28) {
loadMovie(this.pArray*, this.bar.photo* );

i++;
}

```

The problem is with the “this.bar.photo\*” as its identifier is not being updated.  
Can anyone see what I am missing?

i assume u have 28 photo movie clips? from photo0 to photo27? if so use this.bar[“photo”+i] to reference your holder movie clips.

yay 700 posts!

Moving on now, how would i approcah a similar problem of attaching a link to a dynamic movie.Its the linker\*, and window\* areas.  
The “link”+i movies are being dynamically created succeessfully, its just getting the dynamic link onto them.

here my code

```auto
this.pArray = new Array(image);
this.pArray = image.split(", ");
//this.pArray = split(, );
total = this.pArray.length;
link = link.split(", ");
blank = blank.split(", ");
i = 0;
var xPos = 0;
var yPos = 0;
var xPosl = 0;
var yPosl = 0;
while (i<total) {
tellme = this.pArray;
this.bar.attachMovie("photoHolder", "photo"+i, i, {_x:xPos, _y:yPos});
xPos += this.bar["photo"+i]._width+3;

this.bar.attachMovie("linkage", "link"+i, i+100, {_x:xPosl, _y:yPosl});
xPosl += 106;

loadMovie(this.pArray*, this.bar["photo"+i] );

linker* = link*;
window* = blank*;

    if(linker* != "")
    {this.bar["link"+i].onRelease = function() {
            getURL(linker*, window*);
            trace(linker*);
        };
        }
else{}
i++;
}

```

this.pArray = new Array(image);
this.pArray = image.split(", ");
//this.pArray = split(, );
total = this.pArray.length;
link = link.split(", ");
blank = blank.split(", ");
i = 0;
var xPos = 0;
var yPos = 0;
var xPosl = 0;
var yPosl = 0;
while (i<total) {
tellme = this.pArray;
this.bar.attachMovie("photoHolder", "photo"+i, i, {_x:xPos, _y:yPos});
xPos += this.bar["photo"+i]._width+3;

this.bar.attachMovie("linkage", "link"+i, i+100, {_x:xPosl, _y:yPosl});
xPosl += 106;

loadMovie(this.pArray*, this.bar["photo"+i] );

this.bar["link"+i].linkVar = link*///or whatever the 
this.bar["link"+i].windowVar = blank*

i++;
}

```

then inside the symbol in the library that you use to attach, the one called “linkage”, put the on(release) code on a button inside it, to call a

getURL(linkVar, windowVar);

easy 😃
