Hi there,

I have a function that attaches a movie clip to the stage each time at a new level.

myLevel++

attachMovie(“myMovieClip”, “instanceName”+myLevel, myLevel)

}

At the moment it works just fine but I want to target specific instances and I can’t work out the instance names.

I am trying this…

instanceName[myLevel].\_x = 400

Does anyone know how I can do this? Any help would be appreciated, thanks. AS2 by the way
