With the eval being gone in AS3, does anyone know how to get to the
reference of a movieclip (via the target name string) without using eval?
I know we can instantiate the class via the _global namespace but not
positive about mc's.
Using the object collection, like you should've been doing since eval
was depreciated.
parentclip["clipname"]
Works for nested targets too:
parentclip.subclip["clipname"]
or
parentclip["subclip"]["clipname"]
Like this:
trace(parentclip["subclip"]["clipname"]._x);
or
trace(_root["clip1"]["clip2"]["clip3"]["clip4"]._x)
