hello again guys…
I have same problems with array(again)… i hope u could help me…
here’s the condition:
1. i’m duplicating movieclip as a button
2. when i release the current button\*, I want it’s \_visible = false;
and images(mc that has frame contain image).gotoAndStop\*;
3. Other buttons, \_visible = true;
code:
//duplicate movieclip(butThumb)
butThumb.\_visible = false;
for (i=1; i\<=5; i++) {
butThumb.duplicateMovieClip(“butThumb”+i, i);
thisBut = this[“butThumb”+i];
if (i\>1) {
thisBut.\_y = this[“butThumb”+(i-1)].\_y+this[“butThumb”+(i-1)].\_height+10;
}
/_here’s the problem (I don’t know how to tell other butThumb except this butThumb that i’m pressing, \_visible = true;)/_
```
this["butThumb"+i].ii = i-1;
this["butThumb"+i].onRelease = function() {
this._visible = false;
images.gotoAndStop(i);
};
```
}
please help me guys:(
thank u…

ok, nevermind… I dont think the domain of the question is even there… what I would do in the function is a loop
```php
this["butThumb"+i].onRelease = function() {
this._visible = false;
images.gotoAndStop(i);
for (x = 1, x <=5, x++){
if (x != i){
this["butThumb"+x]._visible = true
}
}
}
```
the for loop says that everytime except when x is equal your current index, it should make the button visible…
does this help?

nah … you don’t need to 😉 [size=1]besides i don’t have a site :P[/size]
> a question : this.\_parent, is it the same statement with \_root. in this situation??
yes … but i prefer \_parent so you can place everything into a movie clip if needed and the script should still work 😉
> thank u so much … this is for my appreciation KAX THE SAVIOR …

for (x=1; x\<=photoArray.length; x++) {
this.\_parent[“butMain”+x].\_visible = true;
should be : photoArray.length+i
isn’t kax?..
next problemo… 🙂
the images(MC), u forgot to write it , if i only put this:
this[“butMain”+i].onRelease = function() {
[COLOR=red]images.gotoAndStop(i);[/COLOR]
for (x=1; x\<=photoArray.length; x++) {
this.\_parent[“butMain”+x].\_visible = true;
}
this.\_visible = false;
}
the images gotoAndStop the last frame on the MC…

Ok, I am confused. I don’t see any problems after what Kax posted. And I don’t see anything on your stage besides the buttons (which are 1 frame), so what are you gotoAndPlaying?
The script there should work.

[AS]this[“butMain”+i].playVar = i;
this[“butMain”+i].onRelease = function() {
images.gotoAndStop(this.playVar);
for (x=1; x\<=photoArray.length; x++) {
this.\_parent[“butMain”+x].\_visible = true;
}
this.\_visible = false;
};[/AS]
fixed.

this[“butMain”+i].playVar = i
It creates a variable on your clip called playVar.
It sets the value of the variable to whatever value “i” is equal to at that time in the for loop.
We then call this variable (this.playVar since the variable is in that clip) in the onRelease of the this[“butMain”+i] clip.
