Hi all,

As the title suggests, I cant get function at end of the code to attach to each MovieClip I create dynamically within a loop.

Only the last image will follow the mouse. What am I doing wrong? Im really not sure.

```auto
//now do something with the xml data
PopulateLists = function(final_array)
{
    for (var i=0; i<final_array.length; i++)
    {
        //tell the loop we are about to retrieve the attributes of each line in the xml
        var banner = final_array*.attributes;
        
        //retrieve all the atributes from each array instance
        var strA;
        strA = banner.conttext;
        //trace("strA= "+strA);
        
        var intB;
        intB = banner.xcord;
        //trace("intB= "+intB);
        
        var intC;
        intC = banner.ycord;
        //trace("intC= "+intC);
        
        var intD;
        intD = banner.wdth;
        //trace("intD= "+intD);
        
        var intE;
        intE = banner.hght;
        //trace("intE= "+intE);
        
        var intF;
        intF = banner.fntsize;
        //trace("intF= "+intF);
        
        var intG;
        intG = banner.txtrot;
        //trace("intG= "+intG);
        
        var intH;
        intH = banner.txtcol;
        //trace("intH= "+intH);
        
        var intY;
        intY = banner.layer;
        //trace("strZ= "+strZ);
        
        var strZ;
        strZ = banner.path;
        //trace("strZ= "+strZ);
        
        //format the style of the text (doing it for each instance so individual text sizes and rotations can be set
        TextStyle = new TextFormat();
        TextStyle.color = intH;
        TextStyle.bullet = false;
        TextStyle.underline = false;
        TextStyle.font = "MyFont";
        TextStyle.size = intF;
        
        //now create a text field for each line in the xml
        if(strA)
        {
            _root.createTextField("TextBox"+*,getNextHighestDepth(),intB,intC,intD,intE);
            this["TextBox"+*].multiline = false;
            this["TextBox"+*].wordWrap = false;
            this["TextBox"+*].border = false;
            this["TextBox"+*].wordWrap = true;
            this["TextBox"+*].embedFonts = true;
            this["TextBox"+*].selectable = false;
            this["TextBox"+*].text = strA;
            this["TextBox"+*]._rotation = intG;
            this["TextBox"+*].setTextFormat(TextStyle);
        }
        
        //now lets create the movieclips for the images
        if(strZ)
        {
            _root.createEmptyMovieClip("ImageHolder"+*,intY);
            this["ImageHolder"+*].loadMovie(strZ);
            this["ImageHolder"+*]._x = intB;
            this["ImageHolder"+*]._y = intC;
            this["ImageHolder"+*].width = intD;
            this["ImageHolder"+*].height = intE;

            moveMC(this["ImageHolder"+*],1944,50);
        }
    }
}

function moveMC(strName,intCenter,intSpeed)
{
    onEnterFrame = function() 
    {
        trace("strName: "+strName);
        trace("intCenter: "+intCenter);
        trace("intSpeed: "+intSpeed);
        
        if (_root.mainVar == 0)
        {
            homeX = (-_root._xmouse*3)+1944;
        }
        else
        {
            homeX = (-_root.mainVar*3)+1944;
        }
                                    
        thisX = strName._x;
        diffX = homeX-thisX;
                                    
        if (_root.mainVar == 0)
        {
            moveX = diffX/50;
        }
        else
        {
            moveX = diffX/5;
        }

        strName._x = thisX+moveX;
    }
}

```
