Hi guys,

I´m new to these forums and I could use a little help with the following problem:

I have got a number of movieclips in my library named cover0, cover1, … , cover10.  
Now I want to instance them dynamically via actionscript.

Coverflow.as:  
var coverNumber:int=11;

```
                   for (var i:int = 0; i &lt; coverNumber; i++) {

			coverArray* = new Cover(i);

			coverBG.addChild(coverArray*);

		}

```

Cover.as:

public function Cover(coverNumber:int):void {

```
		var coverMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
		var mcName:String = "cover" + coverNumber;
		coverMC = new [mcName]();
		addChild(coverMC);
	}

```

if I try to compile I get

TypeError: Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor  
at Cover()  
at Coverflow()

please help

kind regards,
