array of Movie Clips 2

[SwirlyKing]

I already asked this question, but I thought I'd simplify what I'm asking. If I've got an array that contains mc names like this:

var homeArray = new Array("home1_mc",
                    "home2_mc",
                    "home3_mc",
                    "home4_mc",
                    "home5_mc",
                    "home6_mc",
                    "home7_mc",
                    "home8_mc"); 

How do I do the equivalent of this:

var i:MovieClip = homeArray[0];
var image1:MovieClip = addChild(new i);

You have all sorts of type misunderstandings above. There's really NO reason to put Strings in your array. I think what you really want in your array is Classes. So, if you have these clips in your library, export them for actionscript with appropriate class names (which differ from instance names). Then you can do this:

var homeArray = [Home1, Home2, Home3, Home4, Home5, Home6, Home7, Home8];

var homeClass:Class = homeArray[0];
var image1:MovieClip = addChild(new homeClass());

Thank you, I finally got it working!
