    you may want to give the movie clips a naming convention as well, if you haven't already.

    var i;
    var number_of_clips = 3;

    for(i=1;i<=number_of_clips;i++)
    {
    clipToDup.duplicateMovieClip("ne... + i, i);
    }

    then when you do the trace above, some simple string parsing will allow you to get a number (1,2 or 3 in this case) thats much easier to work with in AS.

    _global.current_mc = 0;
    on(release)
    {
    var this_mc_num;

    this_mc_num = this._name.split("_");
    this_mc_num = Number(this_mc_num[this_mc_num.l...
    trace(this_mc_num);
    }
