Hi  
I have the following code to insert a kind of paging in as3  
var xPos: Number = 10;  
for (var i: Number = 0; i \<clips.length; i + +) (  
ItemNo ItemNum var = new ();  
ItemN.x xPos + = 10;  
ItemN.y = 0;  
ItemN.ID = i +1;  
ItemN.name = “ItemN\_” + (i +1);  
trace (ItemN.name);  
paginacao.addChild (ItemNo);  
trace (ItemN.name);  
ItemN.MC\_Active.MC\_Label.TXT\_Label.text = i +1;  
xPos = xPos + 45;  
ItemN.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, funcaoNavegar);  
)  
where: ItemNum () is a movieclip with other movieclips inside  
I need to click on them to handle their condition, for example:  
clicking on two, change your status to visible = false;  
someone help me?  
for example when I give the name of the instance I gave “ItemN\_1” it gives error  
Thanks
