Ok I have 4 MC on the main timeline and each one is named MC\_0 too MC\_3. I want to be able to trace which on you pressed. I have my code in a new layer, and Im not really sure what I have gotten wrong. I keep getting “undefined”.

```auto

for (i=0; i<=4; i++) {
	eval("_root.MC_"+i).onPress = function() {
		trace(eval("_root.MC_"+i));
	}
}

```
