I have this code:
* * *
## currPos=\_root.indicator.indicator;
currPos is a numeric value that I get from \_root.indicator.indicator.
This value can be 1, 2, 3 or 4. It is random.
I then have this example if statement:
* * *
## if (\_root.score.notes1.pos==3) trace(“success”);
I want the numeric “1” from notes1.pos to be dependent on the value of currPos.
That is, if currPos=5, the statement will be:
* * *
## if (\_root.score.notes5.pos==3) trace(“succcess”);
I tried this:
if (\_root.score.notes[currPos].pos==3)
… blah blah
but it does not work.
I know the syntax is wrong but I just can’t figure out the right syntax.
Help please?
Thank you all =D

Howdy…
Try this…
if (\_root.score[“notes” + currPos].pos == 3)
