photoStrip_mc["thumbnail" + I]_mc._width and
photoStrip_mc.thumbnail[I]_mc._width won't work. "[]" basically serve the purpose of periods.... they represent heirarchy, they don't perform an eval() (there is no AS3 equivalent of AS2's eval() btw). You were on the right path with: photoStrip_mc["thumbnail" + i + "_mc"]._width The only issue I see wrong is using "._width" instead of ".width" Then again, it is out of context, so I don't know what the rest of your code is, it might be that you are not properly assigning the values. As Muzak mentioned, I also usually just store mc's that I need to loop through in an array and do it that way. - Taka On Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 12:02 PM, TS <sunnrun...@gmail.com> wrote: > Ok that was my other question.
