Hi

I’m having problems with this code - it’s to show a reference popup when you mouseover a button:

function showRef(o:Object, s:String) {  
var str: String = “’”+o+"’";  
var arr: Array;  
arr = str.split("_");  
str = "ref_"+arr[2];  
str = str.substr(0, str.length-1);  
var obj: Object = this[str];  
this[str].\_visible = true;  
trace (this[str]);  
if (s == “chart”) {  
if (!graphBig){  
obj.\_x = 30;  
obj.\_y = 275;  
} else {  
obj.\_x = 200;  
obj.\_y = 290;  
}  
}  
}

It works fine when I publish it as a standalone swf - the ref popup shows and repositions fine (I get a trace saying something like this: “\_level0.ref\_X”). But the swf is being called into a framework, and that’s when I get a problem as the trace then shows “undefined”.

Be gentle with me, I’m pretty new to all this. 🙂
