Hi,  
I duplicate a MC 6 times,

for(i=1;i\<=6;i++){  
this.MovieClip.square.duplicateMovieClip( “square”+i,i\*1000);  
//  
and now I want to store a unique number (i) in each of the duplicated movieclips  
//

this.MovieClip[“square”+i].uniquenr = i;

}

this doesn’t work.

how do i get:  
trace (this.MovieClip[square3].uniquenr)  
-\> results in 3  
???

now it says nothing  
☹

thanks
