Hi.  
I’m new here and I have a problem.  
I have a couple of movieclips in my library (there’s 52 of them actually, I’m making a card game. :)) and I have them exported for actionscript through the property menu.  
Is it possible to load them by passing a variable with the name of the movieclip class?  
Something like:

function showCard( card:String ):void {  
var mc:MovieClip = new card();  
addChild( mc );  
};

showCard( ‘aceOfSpades’ );

I know this example doesn’t work but I hope it helps you understand what i want to do.
