referencing createEmptyMovieClip with dynamic names

[acidgreen]

Hi i almost have this but i have a dilema, can anyone please help?

I am trying to load a series of 33 images into my movie to create a slide show. now as creating say 100 individual movie clips is teadious i wanted to do it dynamically.

My issue is that it creates the movieclips and loads the movies fine BUT does not retain the previous created movieclip. IE if i create 33 movies after the function completes only CLimage33 is the only one on the stage. all the others have dissapeared. ANY help will be apprecited.

//------IMAGE Load---------------//
imageCount = 1;
pageCount = 1;
maxImages = 1;

function initLoadMovies() {
if (_root.maxImages <= 33) {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip ("CLimage"+_root.imageCount, this.getNextHighestDepth());
loadMovie ("images/"+_root.imageCount+".jpg", _root["CLimage"+_root.imageCount]);
if (_root["CLimage"+_root.imageCount].getBytesLoaded() >= _root["CLimage"+_root.imageCount].getBytesTotal()) {
trace ("CLimage"+_root.imageCount+" Loaded");
_root.imageCount++;
_root.maxImages++;
initLoadMovies();
}
}
}
initLoadMovies();

function nextImage (){
if (_root.pageCount == _root.maxImages) {
_root.pageCount= 1;
} else {
_root.pageCount++;
_root["CLimage"+_root.pageCount]._y = 200;
}
}

thanks to all who replied >_>..

the issue was..
_root.createEmptyMovieClip ("CLimage"+_root.imageCount, this.getNextHighestDepth());

i had to change it to

_root.createEmptyMovieClip ("CLimage"+_root.imageCount, _root.imageCount);

the this.getNextHighestDepth() set them all to the same depth and must have overridden the previous created movieclip on that depth level.

hopefully this helps anyone who has had a similar problem

Awesome! Thanks for posting your solution.

Sorry I didn't have a chance to respond, some issues came up this last weekend and I have been away working on those...

Cheers!
