Referencing MovieClip Properties from an Array

programming flash
1 
container_mc = _root.createEmptyMovieClip ("Page_Container_mc",100);
pageContent = new Array ();
for (var p=0; p<5 ; p++) {
            pageContent[p] = container_mc.attachMovie ("Page Content "+p, "page_content"+p, 1000+p*100); // "Page Content 1"... are linked from library
            pageContent[p]._y = 300; // won't work because ???
    }

Hi all,

As you can see from the above code, I’m trying to create a set of MovieClips and save a reference to each in an Array so I can easily access them and their props/methods.

I must be having a brain-lapse because I can’t get this to work. Any ideas on this or a better approach?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers.
