Assign an incrementing variable to an attachMovie (experience with TweenLite helpful)

1

hey guys -

i have a script which places a clip on the stage (well, just off it), and rotates the clip and then tweens it to a certain x/y coordinate based on the rotation using TweenLite, and all of this on a setInterval of 2 milliseconds. that works well.

thing is, i don’t seem to be able to set a unique name based on the clipname and an incrementing number

basically (and this isn’t the whole thing, this is just the general idea), it goes

interval = setinterval("dothis", 2);

var increment=0;

function dothis(){
     attachMovie(movieICall, "movieICall" + increment; 1)
     movieICall._x = blah;
     _y= blah etc;
     etc;
     etc;
     increment++;
}

so when i set the interval to 2 seconds, it moves everything well and there are no problems. when i set the interval to 2 milliseconds, the clips only get just onto the screen before disappearing. i’'ve tried creating a function to handle the x,y, tween
so i could refer to the clip with a “this”, but it doesn’t change anything.

the only thing i can think of is that movieICall is not incrementing, and every clip on the screen is being referred to as movieICall, in which case the next case of x, y, tweening overwrites that last one and effectively kills the last one (but then why is it not just left sitting on the screen)?

i tried adding an overwrite:false to the end of the TweenLite, but that only let the tween happen once and then…nothing.

anyone have any ideas??
