Dynamic Actions for Dynamic Movie Clips?

1

I know that you can do for example onClipEvent(enterFrame) as an action for an exisiting movie clip.

How do i dynamically do this

I load the movie:

_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“myMovieClip”, 101);
myMovieClip._x=50;
myMovieClip._y=50;
loadMovie(“image1.jpg”, myMovieClip);

and i thought

myMovieClip.onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x+=10;
}

why wont this work and if not how can i do this?

Thanx

what version of flash ur using!

Sorry, Im using Flash MX, thats why i can dynamically load the jpg to the movie clip. but seeming as you can not see it on stage as you create it on entering frame how can i apply this action to it?

it will be something:

movieclip.onEnterFrame = function () {
// ur code over here
}

hope that helps u,
