Actionscript Code:
if (Key.isDown(attack2Key)&&shot2reload == 0) {
        for (i=1; i<2+1; i++) {
            shot2++;
            shot2reload = 30
            var newname = "shot2_"+shot2;
            _root.attachMovie("shot2", newname, shot2*100+1);
            _root[newname]._y = _root.player._y;
            _root[newname]._x = _root.player._x+i*40-60;
            _root[newname].onEnterFrame = function() {
                var yVel = 10;
                this._y -= yVel;
                if (this._y<0) {
                    this.removeMovieClip();
                }
            };
            trace (_root.[newname].yVel)
        }
    }

rather than setting speed(yVel) in the onEnterFrame,
I want to set it as I create the movieclip I'm stuffing it in.
The trace is my attempt to access that variable
