Arrays of movieClips

programming flash
1

I’m trying to create something (which has probably been created a 1000 times before) that will fade in and out a series of images. I load the images into my movie and then I want to make some action script to loop through them to fadeIn/Out.

So to begin with I want to store all the image names in an array and then loop through this. But I’m having problems accessing the movie clips from the array. Where am I going wrong?


var images:Array = new Array();
images = [wine_mc, sunset_mc, poppies_mc, pool_mc, eastView_mc]

for(image in images) {
    trace(eval(image)._alpha)
    //eval(image)._alpha = 0;
}
trace(wine_mc._alpha)

I get undefined from my output window except for the last line of code, which works correctly.
