Creating multiple instances of code generated mc?

programming flash

I need to generate multiple instances of a code generated movieclip. If I try:


var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var n:mc = new mc();

I get 2 errors:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: mc.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method mc.

But if I write:


var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var n:MovieClip = mc;
var m:MovieClip = mc;

Then n stops being mc and only the last defined variable is mc. What am I doing wrong?
