  I have a fla where I need to tell 50 different movie clips to do the same
  thing when the movie starts. Basically, I'm setting all their RGB to a
  given value. I want to do it in a way that I can put all their names in a
  list of some sort, then using that list to talk to them all. The other/LONG way would be
  to tell them each individually.

  Here is my script:

  //define the states UP colors variable
  statesUpColor = "0xffffff";
  //set the states UP color
  statesUpColorObject = new Color(_root.AK, _root.AL, _root.AR);
  statesUpColorObject.setRGB(state...
  //putting
  their names in like this doesn't work for me

  The long way would be this script, but only one movieclip referrenced (
  _root.AL). And write it 50 times, just with the new movie clip name in it?

  Thank you!!

  Are all 50 mc's actually on the stage? Or are you using duplicateMovieClip?

  Either way a loop is what you need. If you actually have 50 mc's on the stage, you should name them "myclip0", "myclip1" ... etc

  then your code would look like:

  for(i=0;i<50;i++){
  myColor = new Color(_root["myclip" + i]);
  myColor.setRGB(...);
  }

  hope I understood your problem..
