Hey yall I am trying to grab a movie clip instance which is amongst an array and attach it to a string.

I am trying this:

```auto

stateArray = new Array(AL,AK,AZ, ect....);//names of mc instances
for (var i = 0; i<stateArray.length; i++) {
 stateArray*.onRelease = function() {
  getURL("/pagoso/browsestate.aspx?cat="+cat+"&state="+stateArray*, "_self");
 };//each mc onRelease will grab "cat" from string and add its respective state Array to String
}

```

Results in state being undefined state;

Have tried this:

```auto

 stateArray*.onRelease = function() {
  getURL("/pagoso/browsestate.aspx?cat="+cat+"&state="+stateArray[0], "_self");
 };
}

```

Resulting in:  
/pagoso/browsestate.aspx?cat=8&state=\_level0.AL

and if I do just stateArray it adds all the states with \_level0.AL, \_level0.AK ect…

How come I cant get it to just grab MC instance?
