k say i wanted to create a bunch of movieclips in a for loop but wanted to name them something different each time, how would i dynamically name them?

example of basically what i want to know how to do

```auto

for (var i:Number = 0; i > 10; i++) {
    var eval(myMovieClip+i):MovieClip = new MovieClip();
}

```

but that code won’t work as AS3 does not use eval any more so how would i go about doing this?
