On reflection some of the ideas I had are a bit messy - this has
probably come from mixing stuff in with legacy code for a year - but
Ted's solution looks quite nice and elegant without attaching extra
properties to the clips :)

I haven't really followed this thread that closely, but I do see a lot
of complication about naming a lot of clips and later trying to access
them by reconstructing the correct name.
I generally try and avoid doing this kind of "name reconstruction"
where a lot of clips are involved in some kind of sequence or pattern.
If we are talking about 50 clips, perhaps named "C1" to "C50", I would
generally try and arrange for these to be referenced through an array.
Perhaps something like myClips:Array = [C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6 .. etc ];
If you are creating clips dynamically, just push the clip reference
onto the array - myClips.push( someClip);
This saves a lot of messy code because you don't have to manipulate
strings, just refer to the correct array element -
for (var idx:Number = 0; idx<myClips.length;idx++){
myClips[idx]._x=idx*50; //whatever
}
Something to consider.
