small piece of code help please

Hi, I have to following snippet:

_root.MyMovie0._y -= 10;
_root.MyMovie1._y -= 10;
_root.MyMovie2._y -= 10;
_root.MyMovie3._y -= 10;
_root.MyMovie._y -= 10;

I want to replace the "MyMovie"-values with an array. I did the following but it doesnt work.

for (i=0; i<Descriptions_length; i++) {
_root.this["MyMovie" + i]._y -= 10;
)
Anyone an idea?

cheers

If your movie instances are really in the root, try to do it in the more reliable two-step way:

for (i=0; i<Descriptions_length; i++) {
newIns = eval("_root.MyMovie"+i);
newIns._y -= 10;
}

or, after declaration of newIns variable in the root: var newIns = null;, do the following:

for (i=0; i<Descriptions_length; i++) {
_root.newIns = eval("MyMovie"+i);
_root.newIns._y -= 10;
}

Thanks!
I'll have a go at it
