Need Help With Array Problem

Hi Guys,

I am having some problem with my arrays, still pretty new at this.
Probably made some serious mistake somewhere, i cant seem to make the
arrays work when the clip is nested within another movieclip

here’s the summarized problem


//these are names of the movieclips nested inside another movieclip
var nArray:Array = new Array(n0, n1, n2);
for (var i = 0; i < nArray.length; i++) {
    // this works but when i delete the nArray everything fails can someone explain why ?
	nholder = nest["n"+i];
	nholder._alpha = 30;
    //  this doesnt work at all ....  if so whats the right method going about doing this ?
	nholder.nArray*._alpha = 30;

}

hope someone can help me out or tell me where i can read up about this …

Thanks
