ok, that’s some basic question but it’s 4 am, I can’t find the answer in the tutz and I’m starting to get a headache…  
I’m creating some mc’s on the stage with the attachMovie function in a loop. I have no problem naming them like that:

foo.attachMovie(“myClip”, “myClip”+i, 200+i);

But I need to name them with part of an array like that:

foo.attachMovie(“myClip”, “myClip”+array\*+"\_mc", 200+i);

I thought that would work but I guess my synthax is wrong… How do you mix strings and arrays elements inside the () of the attachMovie?

I need to get something like: myClipArrayElement1\_mc for the name of the attached movies…

THX! 🙂
