I am creating movie clips with a for loop using attachMovie, I would like to pass a variable into the clip itself at the time of it’s creation. It seems simple enough, but my little brain is imploding…

So basically I got an MC: “clip”+i, which I would like to pass a variable (from an array), for it to use on it’s own timeline. I want the next clip to be able to use the next variable in the array in it’s own timeline.

thanks 🙂
