I have a series of movieclips namely alpha1,alpha2…till alpha56,inside another parent movieclip parentMc.

The problem is do I have to write onPress() event actions for each alpha movieclip ?

Or is there any other way to get the childMovieClip index so that I need to write only onPress function for the ParentMc…

like  
parentMc.onPress=function()  
{  
if(getChildIndex(parentMc)  
{  
//get data from child Mc…  
}  
}

PLEASE HELP ME OUT !!!..

P.S. I know there is that option in AS3…But is that there in AS2.0…???..  
Cheers…:evil2:
