Reference a duplicate mc

hi there,

i have the followinf code, you can see what i amtrying to do, but this isnt correct.

what is

 
//thumb is an array of thiumbnail pics
 
for (i=0; i<thumb.length; i++) {
  thumbcontainer.duplicateMovieClip("thumb"+i,i,{_x:xPos, _y:yPos, _alpha:0,_visible:true});
  xPos = xPos + ImageWidth + hSpace;//create the new position of next MC
  yPos = xPos + ImageHeight + vSpace;
["thumb"+i]loadMovie(thumb*, 1); } 

how do i reference the newly created movie clip to load it with the jpg

thanks in advance

jamie
