putting copied movieClip into a variable

[tziviak]

I used the duplicate movie clip to duplicate a m.c-but later on I want to refer to it in a variable-so how can I put the value of the copied m.c into the variable?
here's my code:

duplicateMovieClip("Tline","TLine"+number,2);
avail="TLine"+number;
number++;

when I trace avail now I get Tline5 (for ex.)-but it doesn't reflect the real line that got duplicated
thank you

This in a for loop?

Post all your code? Or better a link to your .fla.
