Ok, this will be hard to explain but ill try.  
I use FOR loopt to create movieclips and assign values from XML file to them.  
Looka at the code:

myXML.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {  
if (success) {  
nNodes = myXML.firstChild.childNodes.length;  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“news\_mc”, \_root.getNextHighestDepth());

```
	for (var i:Number = 0; i&lt;nNodes; i++) {
		var name:String = "dataHolder"+i+"_mc"
		news_mc.attachMovie("dataHolder_mc", nimi, uutiset_mc.getNextHighestDepth(),{_y:aArvot*});
	}
}

```

}

question is, how can i access the movieclips after this?  
the names are like "dataHolder1\_mc, dataHolder2\_mc etc…
