Hi,
There maybe a typo in your code?
it should say subMC["textField" + i]
There should be no (dot) "." before the (square bracket) [
Basically you treat the movieclip subMC like an array. It contains some
text fields "textField0", "textField1", etc. so you can index the array
with to get the contents of it.
You can do the same with your other bit of code rather than using eval:
//instead of
but = eval("but"+i);
//Try this - not sure if you need to use the "this" operator, but it
makes things clearer.
but = this["but" + i]

Seems to jumble me up a bit, I get this error.
Expected a field name after '.' operator.
_root.mainMC.auto.subMC.["textField"+i].text =
turbo.attributes.name;
thanks though...

Erm, I think you might want to try
_root.mainMC.auto.subMC["textField" + i].text
Not sure.

Hello,
I'm having problems figuring out how to grab an array value and use
that when targeting.
This is my fucntion below. What I am wanting to do is take the
[i]value and be able to use that when trying to write to my textfields
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
function ExpandData(turbo){
var turboItem = turbo.firstChild.childNodes;
for (var i = 0; i < turboItem.length; i++){
but = eval("but"+i);
var turbo = turboItem[i];
_root.mainMC.auto.subMC.txtField+i.text = turbo.attributes.name;
}
}
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Thanks,
Bill
