Okay! I’m having a thing where there are multiple clips generated with duplicateMC, that are all named circles1,circles2, etc. Then, I am using another for statement to try to referr to the circles in a hitTest. How would I do this?  
(x is the for variable)  
hitTest(“circles”+x.toString())  
that won’t work

So how is it done?
