[Flashcoders] how to access mcs dinamically

2005-10-28 Thread Jorge Rego 

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!?

just do it like this:

[mc_+number].someProperty - when referencing mc's by name you have to
put it in square brackets...

this[mc+number].someProperty

(assuming 'this' is the current timeline)

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

Cool, you learn something everyday on here :

Goodbye eval()...

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

because there are two ways of accessing a property (the parent has a
property named mc1 that references a movieclip). one way is to use a
dot, the other to use a string (i.e. a variable of type String or a
literal string foo) inside []s.

so, those three are the same thing:

- myObject.myProperty;

- myObject[ myProperty ];

- var prop:String = myPro + perty;
  myObject[ prop ];

you can even call methods:

trace( Math[ random ]() );

hth,
mark
