hi everyone  
i’m trying to attach a movie clip, or load a movie clip by freffereing to it at a position in an Array, and it’s giving me a headache.

example: i want to attach the movie called “movieTwo” from the library to the stage by using it’s position in this array.

myArray = [“movieOne”, “movieTwo”, “movieThree”]

\_root.attachMovie(\_root.myArray[1]);

or

\_root.loadMovie(\_root.myArray[1].swf);

none of these work, not only cos they may be written slightly wrong here, but i con’t seem to be able to refer to a movie clip by using the position in an array!

anyone know how i could do this.

thanks
