i have movieclip chats\_mc added to chatting\_mc.i used following code to duplicate on click event of a button(nos increments each time).

```auto
chatting_mc.duplicateMovieClip("chats_mc","chats_mc"+nos,chatting_mc.getNextHighestDepth());

```

when im tracing like this im getting “undefined”

```auto
trace("NUM>>>"+chatting_mc.eval("chats_mc"+nos));

```

i want output sumthing like

```auto
chatting_mc.chats_mc1
chatting_mc.chats_mc2
..

```

Can anybody point where im making mistake…or give an alternative to this…
