Childs gotoAndPlay random frame?

1

how can i make all mcs (a bunch of them) inside another mc, to gotoAndPlay in a random frame without having to adress each one of them by theyr instance names?

wild guess: a for loop?

Anyone?

Thanks =)

A for…in loop :slight_smile:

It’s explained in the AS tricks… :trout:

i knew i forgot to search somewere (-:

thanks Ilyas, you´re pretty fast :wink:

hehe…

so just to clarify… if i want that all movies inside the ilyas mc on the root, to gotoAndPlay a random frame, i´ll have to use a for in loop like this:

for (mc in _root.ilyas){
gotoAndPlay(random());
}

right?

More or less (careful with the syntax and the values returned by Math.random() though…). And you have to be careful that there are only those movie clips inside ilyas. Otherwise, you’ll have to test it:

for (mc in _root.ilyas){
  _root.ilyas[mc].gotoAndPlay(random(20)+1);
}

at least, and

for (mc in _root.ilyas){
  if (_root.ilyas[mc] instanceof MovieClip) 
    _root.ilyas[mc].gotoAndPlay(random(20)+1);
}

would be better (not sure of the syntax though).
