Hi everyone,
Here’s a problem that’s been bugging me for quite some time and I can’t seem to get it to work! Let me explain the setup of whats happening (very simple).
There’s a movieclip, lets call it myMovieClip. Inside this movieclip there is a dynamic text box, lets call this one myText. Now to change the text within this text box that is embedded in a movieclip, it’s simply:
_root.myMovieClip.myText.text = "Hello!";
However, what if there is a variable, called myVariable that stores the instance name of the text box. With only one text box I know it’s pointless, but for the sake of example, lets leave it simple.
So, suddenly the code looks like:
myVariable = "myText"
_root.myMovieClip.myVariable.text = "Hello!";
Of course that doesn’t work. I’ve also tried:
_root[myMovieClip.myVariable].text = "Hello!";
Amongst other variations.
Is there any way to display this dynamic text when the instance name of the text box to do the displaying is dynamically stored within a variable?
HELP! :big-mouth:
