Hi folks,  
I am new to AS, but have spent some time traversing these forums to teach myself.

I am trying to loop through a series of images in my library that are all linked as follows:  
image\_01  
image\_02  
image\_03  
image\_04  
etc

I want to loop through each of these images automatically. There are two parts I need help on.

**1) Can someone help me correct the code below?**

```auto
 
if (imagecounter = undefined)
{
imagecounter = 1;
} else {
imagecounter = imagecounter++
}
currentImage = "image_" + imagecounter;
currentImageNewName = currentImage + "playing";
holder1_mc.attachMovie(currentImage,currentImageNewName,1);

```

**2) How do I check if a linked movie exists?**  
ie:  
if (currentImage = exists) ?  
Any help is very much appreciated! Thanks!

Kind Regards,  
Chris
