I have 3 ball movieclips named Ball1, Ball2, Ball3  
I want to store those 2 balls in an array like this  
ballArray = new Array([Ball1, Ball2, Ball3]);

Then i want to pick the balls from the array and diplay it on the screen.  
for (var i = 0; i\<totalballs; ++i)  
{  
var name = “Ball1”+i;

\_root.attachMovie(“Ball1”, name, i);  
\_root[name].\_x = x;  
\_root[name].\_y = y;  
}
