After a click event I want to dynamically create 2 movieclips with the sequential number in their name, e.g. mc\_001 & mv\_001 so that I can ‘link’ them together later on.

[SIZE=“4”]How can I create a movieclip with a dynamic name?[/SIZE]

I am trying to use this at the moment:

```auto
var movieclip["name"+dynamicNumber]:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

```

I can’t use an array unless someone can tell me how to access it across multiple classes…
