Function for AttachMovie with Switch/Case

programming flash
1

Hi all, after several unsuccessful attempts to create a function for this on my own I’m swallowing my pride and asking for help…

I have multiple movieclips (ml1, ml2, ml3 and ml4) to which I attach various clips out of the library to. Each movieclip uses a switch statemtent then attaches the appropriate movieclip from the library… so I got thinking, why can’t I do a function rather than all this scripting? And I must have had a really long weekend because whatever I try just isn’t working.

Here’s my code at the moment…

 
switch (supp1) {
case "bu" :
 mlid = "Budweg Logo";
 break;
case "ro" :
 mlid = "Roulunds Logo";
 break;
case "td" :
 mlid = "Bremtech Hydraulics";
 break;
case "hpm" :
 mlid = "Bremtech Friction";
 break;
case "" :
 mlid = "";
 break;
}
ml1.attachMovie(mlid, "ml1", 10);
switch (supp2) {
case "bu" :
 mlid = "Budweg Logo";
 break;
case "ro" :
 mlid = "Roulunds Logo";
 break;
case "td" :
 mlid = "Bremtech Hydraulics";
 break;
case "hpm" :
 mlid = "Bremtech Friction";
 break;
case "" :
 mlid = "";
 break;
}
ml2.attachMovie(mlid, "ml2", 10);
 
etc...

and here is the function I came up with (that doesn’t work)… so any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.


function attachLogo(n) {
 switch (supp+n) {
 case "bu" :
  mlid = "Budweg Logo";
  break;
 case "td" :
  mlid = "Bremtech Hydraulics";
  break;
 case "ro" :
  mlid = "Roulunds Logo";
  break;
 case "hpm" :
  mlid = "Bremtech Friction";
  break;
 case "na" :
  mlid = "Bremtech Friction";
  break;
 case "" :
  mlid = "";
  break;
 }
 ml+n.attachMovie(mlid, "ml+n", 10);
}
attachLogo(1);
attachLogo(2);
attachLogo(3);
attachLogo(4);
