So I know that if I want to create an instance of a movie clip called part01Roads from the library I do this:

```auto

[COLOR=#993300]var[/COLOR] part01Roads_mc:part01Roads = [COLOR=#993300]new[/COLOR] part01Roads[COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
addChild[COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]part01Roads_mc[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
part01Roads_mc.[COLOR=#000000]x[/COLOR] = -[COLOR=#000000]22379[/COLOR];
part01Roads_mc.[COLOR=#000000]y[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000]317[/COLOR];

```

Well I want to take this one step further if it is at all possible. Lets say I have 100 different movie clips labeled in a sequence: part01Roads, part02Roads, part03Roads … part100Roads.

Instead of rewriting the above code 100 times, can I make a loop to do this?
