Get access to a stored Sprite in a array

1

i’m not getting how to do this, I create a sprite and then store it’s refence in a array, what I want is to use that refence to call it later… but really don’t know what’s wrong…

here’s the code:
[AS]// place a moviclip on stage with instance name of: “container”

var storeGraf:Array = new Array();

// draw something in a sprite
var target1:Sprite = new Sprite();
target1.graphics.beginFill(0xCCFF00);
target1.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
target1.name = “target1”;

storeGraf[0] = target1 as Sprite;

container.addChild(target1);

//container.getChildByName(‘target1’).alpha = .5;

container.storeGraf[0].alpha = .5;[/AS]

thanks

You probably know this already, but using the line that is commented out would work.

You could also use:

storeGraf[0].alpha = .5;

storeGraf isn’t a property of container, which is why you were getting errors before.

hey krilnon! really thanks : )

I think I get it, if I store the sprite in the array it will be as simple as call it from the array no matter where the Sprite has been added in the display list?! I feel a bit of fog in my eyes…no?

this is different from the logic that i follow back in as2, if I would attach a movie clip inside another, store it’s name inside an array, then when calling this clip I would “build” up the path by the name of the container and then the name of the clip stored in the array… hummm migrations issues :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve to clarify this questions… maybe some reading wouldn’t bad thought.

thanks
