I’m looking for a way to reference some movieclips I have on the stage. They’re labeled m0, m1, m2, and m3 respectively. I’ve tried creating string values of their names within a for loop, then attempted to convert the strings into movieclips with no success. What I’m aiming for is to add these movieclips to an array for easy-referencing throughout my script.
