i’m doing this

var Length:Number=10;

for (var i:uint=0; i\<Length; i++) {  
var Box:Table= new Table();  
Box.x=i\*Box.width;  
Box.PersonName.text=TreeXML.Table.Na…  
addChild(Box);

}

/\* every thing is fine till now, but how to call any of these boxes later im thinking of:  
Box.name=(‘Table’+i);  
it gives no errors , but also i can’t do any thing with  
this[‘Table’+i].x for example  
\*/  
my question is:how to rename the movieclips while i’m adding them (in the foor loop)  
and to be able to control that mc whenever i want.  
any solutions ?
