i am trying to dynamically create 20 movieclips. i want to name them dynamically, and reference the clip within an array. is this the best way to go about it? will this even work?...
// array to hold dynamically created movieclips within myItems = new Array(); // add a movie clip function addMenuElement(myName:String) { var myName:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip(myName, 0); myItems.push(myName); }; // all movieclips are named according myMC and a number myName = "myMC"; // create 20 movieclips for(var x:Number = 0; x < 20; x++) { y = "menu" + x.toString() + "_mc"; myName = y; trace(myName); } _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
