```auto
var clipArray:Array = ["kirupa_mc", "is_mc", "a_mc", "really_mc", "cool_mc", "site_mc"];
if (pastMouse>this._xmouse) {
        for (i=0; i<6; i++) {
            eval(clipArray*)._x += 1;
            if (eval(clipArray*)._x>Stage.width+5) {
                eval(clipArray*)._x -= Stage.width-85;
            }
        }
    }

```

In the above AS, the first usage of eval() works fine, but it fails to work in the **if** statement. I’m guessing that this is because of improper usage of eval(), but I can’t think of another way to reference all of the clips dynamically like I want to.

Suggestions?
