using variable on mc

[SwirlyKing]

var newProduct:MovieClip = new "product"+j+"_mc";

What's the proper way to write this line so I can replace the "j" variable with a number and be able to call up the proper mc (i.e. product1_mc)?

var c:Class = getDefinitionByName('product' + j + '_mc');
var newProduct:MovieClip = MovieClip(new c());

Wow, it's times like this that I realize I need to learn actual "programming" to really use as3. There's no way to just figure some of this out without really understanding the language. Thanks so much.

I'm now getting this.

1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type Class.

I just figured out that I needed to add "as Class" to the end of the line.

Whoops - sorry, forgot that part.
