Hi!  
I am using AS 2.0 and Flash Player 9.  
I want to change MC Instance names and target paths, by using variables.

As an example, this is the traditional working code.

enter\_btn.onPress = function () {  
clip1\_mc.gotoAndPlay(“label1”);  
};

I want to do someting like this.  
This code does not work but it shows what I am trying to solve.

var clipname = “clip2\_mc”;  
enter\_btn.onPress = function () {  
clipname.gotoAndPlay(“label1”);  
};

Do you know the solution?  
Thanks from Jotte
