**dynamic attachMovie AS2 to AS3 Migration**  
**I need to translate this in AS3.**

var Name\_x:Number=0;  
var Name\_y:Number=0;  
Position\_H = 0;  
Position\_V = 0;  
for (i=0; i\<CustomName.length; i++) {  
if (CustomName.charAt(i)\>=“A” and CustomName.charAt(i)\<=“Z”) {  
this.attachMovie(CustomName.charAt(i), “Letter\_”+i, 300+i);  
eval(“Letter\_”+i)._x = Position\_H;  
eval("Letter_"+i)._y = Position\_V;  
eval("Letter_"+i)._width = Name\_p\*eval("Letter_"+i)._width;  
eval("Letter_"+i)._height = Name\_p\*eval("Letter_"+i)._height;  
Position\_H += eval("Letter_"+i)._width+Name\_d;

**Can somebody help me? Thanks in advance.**
