Hello all. I am currently scripting a Flash application at work which will pull data from an xml file ( .jpg’s and text ) into templated swf’s created by our designers, for use in online product commercials, realty/property tours, etc.

I need help knocking out a certain section. I am creating a loop which will pull data from the xml and load them with createEmptyMovieClip(). Here’s the code:

```auto
_root.dynLoad = function() {
	trace( "initializing dynLoad function...
" );
	for( _root.g = 1; _root.g <= _root.featLength; _root.g++ ) {
		if( _root.g == 1 ) {
			this.createEmptyMovieClip( "dynPic", this.getNextHighestDepth() );
			trace( "creating empty clip..." + dynPic );
			trace( "loading " + _root.imagesPath + ( _root.featureImageArray[_root.g - 1] ) + " into..." + _root.dynPic + "
" );
			dynPic.loadMovie( _root.imagesPath + ( _root.featureImageArray[_root.g - 1] ) );
		} else {
			duplicateMovieClip( this.dynPic, "dynPicNew", _root.g );
			trace( "duplicating previous clip...target: " + this.dynPicNew );
			trace( "loading " + _root.imagesPath + ( _root.featureImageArray[_root.g - 1] ) + " into..." + this.dynPicNew + "
" );
			dynPicNew.loadMovie( _root.imagesPath + ( _root.featureImageArray[_root.g - 1] ) );
			dynPicNew._y += 150;
		}
		trace( "looping again...
" );
	}
	trace( "loop ended." );
}

```

I am not the heaviest with actionscript and I can get the first two pictures to load, but after that the pics get loaded into the duplicated clip. I tried my hardest to get the else block to dynamically increment the “dynPicNew” ( ex. load it into “dynPicNew” + \_root.g ), but I can’t nail it! How can I get the duplicateMovieClip() to increment the load target dynamically?
