because there are two ways of accessing a property (the parent has a property named "mc1" that references a movieclip). one way is to use a dot, the other to use a string (i.e. a variable of type String or a literal string "foo") inside []s. so, those three are the same thing: - myObject.myProperty; - myObject[ "myProperty" ]; - var prop:String = "myPro" + "perty"; myObject[ prop ]; you can even call methods: trace( Math[ "random" ]() ); hth, mark On 10/28/05, Jorge Rego <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks all! :-) > > Just curious about this, > > if i want to access nested MCs "normally" i do it like this > > > theParentOfYourMCs.mc1.someProperty (with dots in between) > > but in the descrived situation i must ommit the dot to get it to work, why's > that!?? > > > theParentOfYourMCs[ "mc" + number ].someProperty > > Jorge Rego > > > > _______________________________________________ > Flashcoders mailing list > Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com > http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders > -- http://snafoo.org/ jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
