I’ve dynamically added some boxes with text boxes in them that pick up a letter from an array.

How do I get each box to move across the stage? I can’t find where to put the onEnterFrame part. Within the for loop?

I can hard code it and it works, but there should be a way.

[AS]  
for(i=0;i\<moji.length;i++) {  
box.duplicateMovieClip(“box”+i,this.getNextHighestDepth(),{\_x:(i_20)+480,\_y:i_20});  
this[“box”+i].txt.text = moji\*;  
onEnterFrame = function() {  
this[“box”+i].\_x -= (10+i);  
}  
}  
[/AS]
