Re: [Flashcoders] how to access mcs dinamically

Re: [Flashcoders] how to access mcs dinamically
Thanks all! :-) Just curious about this, if i want to access nested MCs "normally" i do it like this theParentOfYourMCs.mc1.someProperty (with dots in between) but in the descrived situation i must ommit the dot to get it to work, why's that!?? theParentOfYourMCs[ "mc" + number ].someProperty Jorge Rego ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

["mc"+number].someProperty Cedric Hi list, I have some MCs named mc1, mc2, mc3 ... I'm trying to access them like this: mc[number].someProperty ... but no luck! How can this be done!?

I use eval()
eval("mc"+i).someProperty
where i is some number
perhaps a "more correct" way would be to generate the mc name into a
variable, and then use the variable?
tempVariable = eval("mc"+i);
tempVariable.someProperty
tempVariable.someOtherProperty

There really should be a FlashCoders FAQ. You could do it like this: theParentOfYourMCs[ "mc" + number ].someProperty, but really, better loop through an array: var myMCs:Array = [ "mc1", "mc2", "mc3", ..., "mcN" ]; for( var i:String in myMCs ) myMCs[ i ].someProperty... That way you could give them meaningful names (e.g. topLeft, topRight...), or just push them on the array while you place them on stage dynamically. hth, mark -- http://snafoo.org/ jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
