Controlling a MC in a function

[maxiemass]

I am trying to tell a MC with a dynamic-ish name to do something in a function.

function fadeIn(myX) {

var myMC= "mc"+myX;

myMC.gotoAndStop("fade");

//movie clip names ar "mc1", "mc2", etc.

}

[tg]

try:

function fadeIn(myX) {

var myMC= "mc"+myX;

this[myMC].gotoAndStop("fade");
// or
this['mc'+myX].gotoAndStop("fade");/// comment out the var myMC line if you try this one... its unneccesary
//movie clip names ar "mc1", "mc2", etc.

}
