FLASH: valueOf problem; or is it !

[kevin dowd]

Hello,


I have 7 movie clips on named menu1, menu2....



The following code



var totalMenus = 7;


	for (myCounter = 1; myCounter <= totalMenus; myCounter++) {

var temp = ("menu" + myCounter);

var theClip = valueOf(temp);

trace(temp + " = " + targetPath (theClip));


}


}



returns



menu1 = _level0.instance1

menu2 = _level0.instance1

menu3 = _level0.instance1

menu4 = _level0.instance1

menu5 = _level0.instance1

menu6 = _level0.instance1

menu7 = _level0.instance1



I would expect the instance name to be different on each iteration of 

the "for" loop.


Anybody tell me what's going on ?
