I have an array of 49 images (.jpg). I need to write a function that will load them each into their own mc. I want to just write code to create the 49 empty clips, rather than having to create them all.
I have been trying to use a for loop. The loop would go through 49 times and create a clip each time and then load it with the next image in the array. I also want to be able to give each clip a unique x and y position, which I hope to do by using the loops counter and multiplying by a value. My code is not working at all. I was hoping that someone could help with a code for this.
Thanks in advance

Here is what I have right now. I know there is a lot wrong with it and I have tried changing a lot of things. Thanks for helping out!
> pathToPics = “bridgeParts/”;
Array.prototype.loadImages=function(){
for(j=0;j\

Fill the pArray with your pictures;)
```auto
var pathToPics = "bridgeParts/";
pArray = new Array();
pArray = ["image0.jpg", "image1.jpg", "image6.jpg", "image7.jpg", "image8.jpg", "image9.jpg"];
function loadImages() {
for (j=0; j

Thanks Scotty! I got it working perfectly. I knew I wouldn’t be able to do that 230\*49 thing, but I also knew I could change that stuff. I ended up having a bunch of “if” statements and put the pics on 7 different rows. Thanks a lot for your help.

instead of if statements use something like this:
[AS]
\_root.numOfItemsPerRow = 10;
\_root.xSpacing = 10;
\_root.ySpacing = 10;
\_root.numOfPics = 49;
for (i=0; i\<\_root.numOfPics; i++) {
new\_mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip (“emptyClip”+i, i);
new\_mc.loadMovie(pathToPics.arr1\*);
row = Math.floor(i/\_root.numOfItemsPerRow);
new\_mc.\_x = 30+(\_root.xSpacing_i)-((\_root.xSpacing_\_root.numOfItemsPerRow)_row);
new\_mc.\_y = 30+(\_root.ySpacing_row);
}
[/AS]

good call, paradox! i like that code. i figured there was a better way than to write about 6 “if” statements. i will definitely keep that in mind in the future.
