Hi all,  
As my as3 skills are not good, I stumbled against this problem, my approach in overall will probably not be the easiest, but here it goes:

In the library of my fla file I have imported 4 pictures, in the properties (class) I gave them the name photo0, photo1, photo2, photo3. With my code on the time line I create dynamically 4 movieclips and now I want to attach photo0 to movieclip 1 and photo 2 to movieclip 2 and sofort…

Is there a way to give the bitmapdata name also a dynamic name, something like:

[COLOR=black]from: var myBitmapDataObject:picture = new picture(0,0);[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black]to: var myBitmapDataObject:[COLOR=red]picture\*[/COLOR] = new [COLOR=red]picture\*/COLOR;  
[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black]or am I completely of track here?[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black]thanks[/COLOR]

```auto

var myArray:Array = new Array();
var spacer:Number = 10;
 
function Main() { 
for(var i:Number=0; i<5; i++){
var newContainer:menuContainer = new menuContainer();
newContainer.name = "container" + i;
myArray.push(newContainer);
 
[COLOR=red]var myBitmapDataObject:picture = new picture(0,0);[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]var myImage:Bitmap = new Bitmap(myBitmapDataObject);[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]newContainer.addChild(myImage);[/COLOR]
 
newContainer.x = (stage.stageWidth/2) + ((myArray*.width + spacer)* i);
newContainer.y = (stage.stageHeight/2);
this.addChild(newContainer); 
 }
}
Main(); 

```
