i have this on a movie clip:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (\_root.circle==1) {  
\_root.firstmc.secondmc.MC1.gotoAndStop(2);  
} else if (\_root.circle == 2) {  
\_root.firstmc.secondmc.MC2.gotoAndStop(2);  
} else if (\_root.circle == 3) {  
\_root.firstmc.secondmc.MC3.gotoAndStop(2);  
} else if (\_root.circle == 4) {  
\_root.firstmc.secondmc.MC3.gotoAndStop(2);  
…and so on…  
}

is there any better way of rewriting it… im sure there is… please help.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.circle) {
_root.firstmc.secondmc["MC"+_root.circle].gotoAndStop(2);
}
}
