hi. just like in the pic, i have 2 buttons on the stage plus and minus and there is a mc called submc in the stage. and there are 10 other mc in the sub mc.  
i like to add and remove 10 mc one by one with the buttons in the stage but i can’t get it with for loop. every single hit on the minus button add one mc on the submc movieclip.

pic url:  
[upload.omeraslanbakan.com/soru.jpg](http://upload.omeraslanbakan.com/soru.jpg)

this is the code i use:

btn\_plus.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mcFramePlus);  
btn\_minus.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mcFrameMinus);

function mcFramePlus(Event:MouseEvent):void  
{  
var i:uint = new uint  
for(i=1; i\<11; i++)  
{  
MovieClip(submc).mc\*.visible = true  
}  
}

function mcFrameMinus(Event:MouseEvent):void  
{  
var i:uint = new uint  
for(i=1; i\<11; i–)  
{  
MovieClip(submc).mc\*.visible = false  
}  
}

i can’t add the movieclips that’s a problem and i dont know how to remove the last added mc’s with minus button.  
sorry for bad english.
