Hello guys,

Does anybody know how to work with to a movie clip generated like this:

```auto
for (j=0; j<10; j++) {
    one_mc.duplicateMovieClip("clip["+j+"]_mc",j);
}

```

I just want to skip all this:

```auto
clip0_mc.onPress = function () {...};
clip1_mc.onPress = function () {...};
...................................................
clip40_mc.onPress = function () {...};

```

and make something like this, but something that works.

```auto
for (j=0;j<10;j++) {
    _root["clip["+j+"]_mc"].onPress = function() {...}
}

```

At someone suggestion I tried this way:

```auto
for (var i:Number = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
    one_mc.duplicateMovieClip("clip" + i + "_mc", i);
    this["clip" + i + "_mc"]._x = i*55;
    this["clip" + i + "_mc"]._y = i*10;
    this["clip" + i + "_mc"].onPress = function () {
        out_txt.text = "i = " + i;
        };
}

```

but the out\_txt always shows “10” I want it to show 0 or 1 or 2 or…

I have an example here: [http://gabriell.sufx.net/test.swf](http://gabriell.sufx.net/test.swf) the last code typed here + one\_mc (the rectangle) + out\_txt(an input text)

I hope I make myself clear:D

Kind regards for reading this.
