Hello, I am trying to cycle through targeted movieclips via an array.  
The symbols are labeled as such, kali1, kali2, kali3, …etc.  
What I wanted to do was to move selected movieclips to a particular frame via an array loop.  
Apparently, I am doing something wrong.

Here is the code I am using and the output I get:

var col1:Array = [8,16];  
for (i=0; i\<col1.length ; i++){  
kaliscope= “kali”+col1;  
this[“kali” + col1].gotoAndPlay(21);  
trace (kaliscope);

Output I get is this:  
kali8, 16  
kali8, 16

What I was hoping to get was:  
kali8  
kali16

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Please note, I am a novice coder.
