Convert integer to instance name?

Question

I have 40 movieclips, with the instance names p[1-40] (for example, p14 or p32). I want them all to do something in order, so I'm using a 'for' loop. In simplified psuedo-code, it looks like:
for 40 {
     variable = variable + 1
     p[variable]
How do I use p[variable] as an instance name?
Thank you in advance!

var mc:MovieClip;
var totalMovieClips:Number = 40;
for(var i:Number = 1; i<=totalMovieClips; i++){
          mc = new MovieClip();
          mc.graphics.beginFill(0xFF00FF, 0.7);
          mc.graphics.drawRoundRect(0, 0, 50, 50, 10, 10);
          addChild(mc)
          mc.name = "mc" + i;
          //trace(mc.name);
          mc.x = i * (mc.width+5);
          mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onCLick);
function onCLick(evt:MouseEvent){
          trace(evt.target.name); // Do something write what the button wants actions to do
