targetting mc's in a for loop?

[zebbah]

hello! how can i get several mc's to play with a for loop? for (i = 1; i <= 8; i++) {
"mc" + i;
} how can i get "mc1"-"mc8" to play? i have tried different things but they don't play. anyone know how i can do this?

thnx! :)

Hi zebbah,

U were nearly there... :)
Try this instead:

for (i = 1; i <= 8; i++) {
_root["mc"+i].gotoAndPlay("start");
}
