I wanna acces multiple elements onEnterFrame by a for()

I just dunno how to. barXX\_mc cannot be a var like in JavaScript (var barXX\_mc = “bar0”+i+"\_mc"). I am new to Flash and wonder how to do this :h:

Can somebody help me? If you need the \*.fla contact me by alexander(at)[dom.de](http://dom.de)

regards  
Alex

```php
/*	for(i = 0; i < bars; i++) {
		barXX_mc = ; // <-- ??? = "bar0"+i+"_mc" does not work, = bar01_mc is static *erks*
		barXX_mc._x = space + Math.sin(rad + (0.5 + i / (bars - 1)) * Math.PI) * amp;
	}*/

// The following should be replaced by the for() above
	
	bar00_mc._x = space + Math.sin(rad + 0.5 * Math.PI) * amp;
	bar01_mc._x = space + Math.sin(rad + (0.5 + 1 / (bars - 1)) * Math.PI) * amp;
	bar02_mc._x = space + Math.sin(rad + (0.5 + 2 / (bars - 1)) * Math.PI) * amp;
	bar03_mc._x = space + Math.sin(rad + (0.5 + 3 / (bars - 1)) * Math.PI) * amp;
	bar04_mc._x = space + Math.sin(rad + (0.5 + 4 / (bars - 1)) * Math.PI) * amp;
	bar05_mc._x = space + Math.sin(rad + (0.5 + 5 / (bars - 1)) * Math.PI) * amp;
	bar06_mc._x = space + Math.sin(rad + (0.5 + 6 / (bars - 1)) * Math.PI) * amp;
	bar07_mc._x = space + Math.sin(rad + (0.5 + 7 / (bars - 1)) * Math.PI) * amp;
	bar08_mc._x = space + Math.sin(rad + (0.5 + 8 / (bars - 1)) * Math.PI) * amp;
	bar09_mc._x = space + Math.sin(rad + (0.5 + 9 / (bars - 1)) * Math.PI) * amp;
	bar10_mc._x = space + Math.sin(rad + (0.5 + 10 / (bars - 1)) * Math.PI) * amp;
	bar11_mc._x = space + Math.sin(rad + 1.5 * Math.PI) * amp;
