I am trying to create movie clips that will display text. I have loaded text into an array from XML. I know that I have sucessfully created the clips and loaded the XML because I tested that with a trace function. I have used a for loop and createEmptyMovieClip to create the MCs. Once this is done, how do I get the clips to show in my swf?
