Mcs And Objects That Want To Be Mcs

[Lynkusu]

I don't actually know if this is possible. But can you make an object equal a movie clip?
Here's what I mean. I have 12 different movieclips drawn out. I have a random number variable and whatever number it generates, I want it to addChild the respective movieclip. The movieclips are all supposed to be called to the same x and y positions, so I was wondering, could I make some object/variable/thing initially equal the movieclip, then addChild that object/variable/thing? Maybe you can't do that, but I'm trying to make my code as clean as possible. xD

You'd store the movieclips in an array and then reference the movieclip through the random number.

addChild(myArray[number]);

Well damn. Can't believe that never occurred to me ._. Thanks. xD
