Hope someone can help here… as alway, I’ve dug around for an answer, but in this case nothing directly relevant seems to have fetched up…

I have four movie clips in my library that are defined as classes: Option0, Option1, Option2 and Option3. I have four buttons that pass a different value from 1-4 to a function. I want to add the clip to the display list that relates to the passed value.

In AS2 it would go something like:

this.attachmovie[“option”+currentVal, “newOption”, this.getNextHighestDepth()];

How should I go about doing this in AS3?
