playing variable movieclip

I'm sure there's a rather simple solution to my problem but I seem
unable to find the answer.
I'm working on a game in which you can choose between some characters to
play with. When you choose the number of that character (1, 2 etc.) is
saved in  _root.character.
These characters are placed in a different movieclip named 'mc_player',
so, character 1 on frame 1, with as name '1'.
Now I'm trying to make the character walk. (ie. Play movieclip "1"); I
thought it was done as followed:
_root.mc_player.[_root.character].play();

But that doesn't work. Anyone that can enlighten me about the subject or
has any clues where I can find something about this?

Kind regards,

Sonja
