I am a newbie to actionscript so please help me. :crying: The is for an interactive community map. The goal is the change the opacity of the lot buttons based on if the variable loaded from a text file is defined as “AVAILABLE” or “SOLD”. There will be 800 or so lots so making this very simple is important. Here is what i have tried so far but of course it is not working:
[COLOR=DarkRed]loadVariables(“lots001_100.txt”,"_root");
onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.lotavailability = lot001availability;
if (_root.lot001availability == AVAILABLE) {
_root.currentlots.setProperty(“lot001”, _alpha, 50);
} else {
_root.currentlots.setProperty(“lot001”, _alpha, 0);
}
}[/COLOR]
lotavailability is a dynamic text field loading the variable lot001availability = this works
currentlots is the instance name of a mc holding all of the lots (buttons)
lot001 is the instance name of the button I’m trying to change the _alpha of.
Each lot will have a variable named lot002availability, lot003availability, etc… and there will be either “SOLD” or “AVAILABLE” as the value of the variable.
In my mind this should work but it’s not. What am I missing? Can this even be done?
