I’m trying to make it so I dynamically create MovieClips and I’m wondering how to do it in AS3 (I know AS2 I think).

```auto

sCharm1:letterA = new letterA;

```

I am trying this, but this doesn’t work… Any suggestions? I’ve been at this for days, any help would be greatly appreciated.

```auto

var alphabet:Array = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ".split("");

for(var i = 0; i < 26; i++){

var sCharm*:("letter"+alphabet*) = new ("letter"+alphabet*);

}

```

Thank you for your help,

Vincent

P.S. I’m not including all the other code. The rest works correctly. I included enough to get the point across.
