Hey all this is kind of a repost but I have a weird problem... Ok I have
a function I am calling on the root timeline and when I trace(this)
inside of it I am getting a return of undefined. What would cause this?
Here is the function.
[code]
function loadImages(imagesToGrab:Number) {
if (imagesToGrab == 0) {
//stop loading images
clearInterval(loadImgInterval);
trace("hitting the clear");
} else {
var randomPos:Number = random(imagesToGrab)+1;
var rfcClip:MovieClip = rfcsArray[randomPos];
var imgID:String = imgArray[randomPos];
//delete from array to keep from running one more than
once
rfcsArray.splice(randomPos, 1);
imgArray.splice(randomPos, 1);
//trying to decipher wtf is going on....
trace("imgID: "+imgID); //returns layout5_set3_img10
trace("rfcClip: "+rfcClip); //returns lay5_img10
trace(this[rfcClip]); //returns undefined - WHY!
trace(this); //returns undefined - WHY!
//ALL ISSUES ARE OCCURING IN THIS LINE OF CODE FROM WHAT
I UNDERSTAND
this[rfcClip].container.attachMovie(imgID, imgID,
this.getNextHighestDepth());
imagesToGrab--;
clearInterval(loadImgInterval);
loadImgInterval = setInterval(loadImages, 2000,
imagesToGrab);
}
trace("imagesLeftToLoad: "+imagesToGrab);
trace(" ");
}
[/code]
if you want to look at my FLA be my guest...
