duplicateMC and levels

I am trying to load in a bunch of rows into an MC that is not on my _root. Can anyone tell me why, when I export, I don't see 6 rows, when rowNum = 6 (I only see my initial 2)?

My hierarchy is as follows: _root > main > rowN (where N is 1 to rowNum; all of these rowN's exist within main). This code I have on my _root timeline:

Code:

---

for (i=3; i<rowNum+1; i++) {
        // start at row3 since rows 1 & 2 already exist
        if (i%2 != 0) {
                // if i is an odd number
                main.row1.duplicateMovieClip("row"+i, i);
        } else {
                main.row2.duplicateMovieClip("row"+i, i);
        }
        setProperty("row"+i, _y, (i*70)-70);
}

---

Is it that my "main" MC starts out only 2 rows high, and can't be extended after the fact? Thanks for any and all help.

try -

Code:

---

setProperty(main["row"+i], _y, (i*70)-70);
trace(main["row"+i]._y);

thanks a_m_d,

this worked great. i had no idea duplicateMovieClip was creating an array.

this usage of the array operators
trace(main["row"+i]._y);

concatenates a path, and is similiar to -

trace(main.row4._y);
trace(main.row5._y);
and so on .. ..
