I am The Rube Goldberg Machine of AS3

338 lines to accomplish what is probably something very, very easy to write. Does anyone have any advice on doing this same thing with much less?

Granted, I like Arrays This should get you started.


var clipArr:Array = [Clip1_mc, Clip2_mc, Clip3_mc, Clip4_mc, Clip5_mc, Clip6_mc, Clip7_mc, Clip8_mc];
var swooshArr:Array = [Swoosh1, Swoosh2, Swoosh3, Swoosh4, Swoosh5, Swoosh6, Swoosh7, Swoosh8]
var len:int = clipArr.length;

for (var i:int = 0; i < len; i++ ) {
  clipArr*.alpha = swooshArr*.alpha = 0;
  clipArr*.x = 700;
  clipArr*.y = 115;
};

Instead of the arrays, you could also use this[“Clip”+(i+1)+"_mc"] and this[“Swoosh”+(i+1)] in the loop
