try this.
var _menuArray:Array = new Array();
var _baseName:String = "mc_menu";
for (var i:Number = 0; i < 20; i++) {
_menuArray.push( this.createEmptyMovieClip( _baseName+i,
this.getNextHighestDepth()) );
}
that will do it... but you may want to create an instance of a mc and not an
empty one. look up attachMovie()
also your code wouldn't work... why you ask?
- you have a function that creates your mc's that is not even called!
- if you actually did call you would only get mc as you are constantly
setting the new mc at the same depth
