    The array method is definitely the way to go. It's cleaner and faster.

    You can refer to a second MC in the scope of a first MC like this:

    mc1["mc2"]

    This works because flash 'stores' all of the MCs in a given file in a set of nested arrays. These arrays are associative, so youc an access any item in the array using it's instance name.

    You can take this further:

    mc1["mc2"]["mc3"]
    mc1["mc2"]["mc3"]["mc4"]

    It's really fast. The other way (using eval) is outdated and way too complicated. So do it this way.
