**Goal:**  
To create movieclips in a for loop. Each movieclip will contain 2 dynamic textfields, and one movieclip which will pull in an image.

**Issues:**

- Making the textfield the child of the movieclip, thus assigning a value to that textfield.
- Doing this with all around best practices. Other than just getting it working, I want to learn best practices on the way.

**Extra Info if you want it:**  
The content will be pulled in via swfObject from an html file, which will reference a div by its ID and pull in the information. It is kinda like referencing an xml file.

AS2 isn’t my forte, but I just happen to be the guy who understands AS2 in any way. Websites, tutorials, wise words are greatly appreciated.
