Here ya go:
for(i=1; i <= 999; i++) {
massJump = "mc" + i;
massJump.gotoAndStop(5);
}
Hope I helped!
thnks flashtabator(dan) - great handle btw
i used this before in a slightly diff way with setting up
an array of vars…
just wanted something so i dont have to declare seperatly each time
got my head stuck round the fact that i wanted *nix or even(DOS)
– straight up wildcard vars.–
gimme the * !!!
thnks again for jogging the ol grey matter anyway though
cheers dude
(you guys here at kirupa blow the other forums out of the f*ing H20 in reply speed)
well… after a long weekend away i came back to find this doesnt work…
for(i=1; i <= 999; i++) {
massJump = “mc” + i;
trace(massJump)
massJump.gotoAndStop(5);
the command that does work is (since mc’s are in _root…):
_root.mc1.gotoAndStop(5);
so i tried:
_root.massJump.gotoAndStop(5); //as well as
_root."massJump".gotoAndStop(5); //and
even changing massJump = “mc” + i; to massJump = “_root.mc” + i;
didnt work!!!
whats up?
Can you e-mail me the .fla and I can send it back to you, I can fix it quick but I need to see visuals when I code something that involves refering to instances in different parts of the movies:
_root[“mc”+i].gotoAndStop(5);
pom :asian:
funny as it may seem… working on 2 computers, 1 with internet 1 without…
so cant send fla…
is it just that flash has a prob. sending commands to mcs that
have been referenced as a variable?
just want to get _root. added on the front of the command…
thanx
they’ve said it on here before…
pom, you rule!
cheers mates!
