Hi everyone,

I’m trying but I can’t work this out.  
I have a single movieclip named button, and I want to use a “for” to multiply that movieclip, that way I can have multiple buttons and edit them all in a single function.

It would be something like this:

var \_button = new button;

for(i=0; i\<5;i++){  
\_button\*:button = new button;  
addChild(button\*);  
}

I’ve searched but I can’t find any thread with this.  
Thanks in advance.
