    i have 10 movie clips they are called
    bt1_mc
    bt2_mc
    bt3_mc
    bt4_mc
    bt5_mc
    bt6_mc
    bt7_mc
    bt8_mc
    bt9_mc
    bt10_mc

    i want to call all of them in one script. so something like this

    bt(123456789)_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);

    of course that's wrong but , how do i write it correctly?

    Thanks

    It's been a LONG time since I have touched ActionScript, so the code sample WILL NOT work. I would create an array for the movie clips and then iterate and call the .gotoAndPlay() method. I hope that makes sense. Below is a rough code sample:

    var strClipPrefix:String = "bt";
var arrMovieClip:Array = new Array();
var i:Number = 0;

for(i=1;i<11;i++)
{
   arrMovieClip[i] = strClipPrefix+i; // Assign "bt1" Through "bt10" To Array
   this[arrMoveClip[i]].gotoAndPlay(2); // Call gotoAndPlay Method For Movies
}
    Code (markup):
