Multiple dynamic movieclips

1

Hi guys. I’m having a rather big problem with my codes. I’m trying to load the images into different dynamically made movieclips using a for loop.

Here’s the code:


for (var i:int=0; i<presArray.length; i++) {
                var imageName:String = presArray*;
                var image = loadImage(imageName);

                var mc = new MovieClip();
                mc.x = (picWidth + 15) * i;
                mc.name = imageName;
                mc.addChild(image);
                container_mc.addChild(mc);
}

It works fine if I’m just loading the images onto the stage, but if I want to refer to the movieclips in other functions such as this:


function hitTestPic(e:Event):void {
            if (container_mc.hitTestObject(catcher_mc)) {
                trace("hit.");
                trace(mc.name);
            }
}

it gives me an error that says undefined property of mc. I then tried to manually name the MCs mc0, mc1, mc2 and so on, I tried calling them in the for loop like this:


for (var i:int=0; i<presArray.length; i++) {
                var imageName:String = presArray*;
                var image = loadImage(imageName);

                var mc* = new MovieClip();
                mc*.x = (picWidth + 15) * i;
                mc*.name = imageName;
                mc*.addChild(image);
                container_mc.addChild(mc*);
}

it gives me the error “1086: Syntax error: expecting semicolon before leftbracket. (at) var mc*:MovieClip = new MovieClip();”[COLOR=Black][COLOR=#800000][FONT=Segoe UI][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] I’m thinking it’s because of the mc*, because if I comment the rest out and remove the * from the mc, it works fine.

Can anyone help please?
