Accessing clips created with attachMovie

[dante2010]

Hi,

I have a question as to how I would go about accessing the movie clips I'm creating with the following code:

for (i=0; i<total; i++) { 
    _root.attachMovie("thumbButton", "thumb" + i, i);
} 

This creates movie clips labeled "thumb1", "thumb2", etc. How would I go about accessing these movie clips?

IE: In the same for loop I want to call .loadMovie from each of them.

thumb1.loadMovie("images/1_gallery_1_thumb.jpg");

How do I dynamically get the 1 in there?

for (i=0; i<total; i++) { 
    BOB=_root.attachMovie("thumbButton", "thumb" + i, i);
    //now you can identify it as "BOB"
    BOB.onEnterFrame....

}

you can 'iterate' the object reference like this:

for (i=0; i<total; i++) { 
    _root.attachMovie("thumbButton", "thumb" + i, i);
    _root["thumb" + i].loadMovie(" url ", level  /  target [ ,   variables  ]) ;
}
