hey,
I have 6 movie clips in my library each with their own identifiers(linkage) because I want to attach them dynamically on the stage. no problem for this…
but what about if I want to put them in an array first and then attach them on a host movie clip on the stage one after the other from left to right…so I would have 6 MC’s in line on the \_root…
thanks, sub

the question is:
how do I attach 6 different MC’s to an array which would put the attached(attachMovie()) MC’s in a host on the \_root stage, one after the other, from left to right…
thanks

```auto
movieArray = ['mov1","mov2","mov3", ... "mov10"];
function addMovies(movieArray){
var i,m,pm
for(i in movieArray){
pm = m;
m = _root.attachMovie(movieArray*,movieArray*+"_mov",i);
m._x = pm._x + pm._width;
}
}
addMovies(movieArray);
```
the spacing relies on the movies’ registration points being on the lefmost edge.
