Hello again and sorry for the typos in my original mail. I am listing my actual and working code at the bottom.
Still my question is: is it possible to replace private var user0_mc:MovieClip; private var user1_mc:MovieClip; private var user2_mc:MovieClip; by an array, if those 3 mc's are located in the authoring envoironment (i.e. not attached by AS)? Thank you Alex class Table extends MovieClip { private var table_id:Number; private var user0_mc:MovieClip; private var user1_mc:MovieClip; private var user2_mc:MovieClip; function Table() { stop(); // make this movie clip behave as a button onRelease = function() { } } public function update(table_id:Number, info_str:String) { this.table_id = table_id; var info_array:Array = info_str.split(newline); for (var i:Number = 0; i < 3; i++) { trace('info_str[' + i + ']: ' + info_array[i]); if (info_array[i]) this['user' + i + '_mc'].update(info_array[i]); } } } -- http://preferans.de _______________________________________________ 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
