hi, i’m having trouble with something i think should be pretty easy.

i have an array called movieList that’s made up of nine movieclips (“one\_mc” for example). when something happens in my timeline, i want to send each of the movieclips to their fifth frame. i tried the following code and it didn’t work:

for(i=0; i\<movieList.length; i++) {  
\_root.movieList\*.gotoAndPlay(5);  
}

is it possible to target movieclips in an array like that? i’d really appreciate some help with this one. if i can get this to work, it’s going to save me a whole lot of typing 😉

thank you!
