try this:

(place in _root frame 1 for ease of use):
CODE

var attached_archers:Number = 0;


Use this to attach the archers:
CODE

on(release){
  _root.attachMovie("hello", "hello_"+_root.attahced_archers, attached_archers);
  attached_archers++;
}


Then if you want them to do various things you can give them functions when creating them like so:

CODE

on(release){
  var mc:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie("hello", "hello_"+_root.attahced_archers, attached_archers);
  attached_archers++;
  mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
    //Do things for the onenterframe function of the new movieclip
  }
}


Hope that helps.
