Aaarggh yPos?

1

hI all,

I am stuck here. Trying to put ._y on a mc.

[AS]

portfolioInfo = new XML ();
portfolioInfo.ignoreWhite = true;
//timeline = this;
portfolioInfo.onLoad = function () {
portfolioTag = this.firstChild;
trace (count = portfolioTag.childNodes.length);
for (child = 0; child < count; child++) {
currentClient = portfolioTag.childNodes[child];
portfolioBtn = _root.createEmptyMovieClip (“mc” + child, child);
portfolioBtn.createTextField (“txt”, child + 1, 1, 1, 200, 35);
portfolioBtn.txt.autoSize = true;
portfolioBtn.txt.selectable = false;
portfolioBtn._x = myRandom (0, 400);
portfolioBtn._y = myRandom (0, 300);

	portfolioBtn.NAME = currentClient.attributes.NAME;
	trace (portfolioBtn.NAME);
	//show the corresponding name
	portfolioBtn.txt.text = portfolioBtn.NAME;
	//attach an background
	portfolioBtn.attachMovie ("txtBG", "txtBG" + child, 0);
	//_root.y = child * 20 + 60;
	yPos = child * 20 + 60;
	trace (yPos);
	//this.grow (50, yPos, 0.6);
	portfolioBtn.onEnterFrame = function () {
		this.grow (50, yPos, 0.6);

	}
}

};
portfolioInfo.load (“portfolio.xml”);
[/AS]

It’s the


yPos = child * 20 + 60;
		trace (yPos);
		//this.grow (50, yPos, 0.6);
		portfolioBtn.onEnterFrame = function () {
			this.grow (50, yPos, 0.6);

		}

part that gives me a “aargggh”. Some how the yPos is all the same, but the trace gives 3 different ones.

Any ideas

And with this it looking the way i want it but this is not dynamic


		mc0.onEnterFrame = function () {
			this.grow (50, 60, 0.2);
		}
			mc1.onEnterFrame = function () {
			this.grow (50, 80, 0.2);
		}
			mc2.onEnterFrame = function () {
			this.grow (50, 100, 0.2);
		}
