Referencing movie clips in for loop

Probably a very simple question: How can i reference movie clips in a for loop?
Lets say i have 10 MCs named movClip0,…,movClip9. How do i call them?
First i tried something like this:


var i:Number;
for(i=0;i<10;i++){
    var mc = "this.movClip"+i;
    mc.removeMovieClip();
}

But that of course doesnt work. So how do i reference MCs if i know their base name and their increment?
