i have a movieclip called main_mc. inside this movieclip i’ve included a dynamic textfield called txt1 and another movieclip called themv.
what im trying to do here is, when the user clicks anywhere on the main_mc, the string in txt1 will be converted into a movieclip instance name (txt1 will bare the string “themv”) and it will move the particular movieclip baring that instance name.
this is the code i have. but its throwing an error.
main_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gettxt);
function gettxt(event:MouseEvent):void
{
main_mc.txt1.text = "themv";
var myString:String;
myString = main_mc.txt1.text;
var myMV:MovieClip = this[myString];
main_mc.myString.x = 0;
main_mc.myString.y = 0;
}
And the error its throwing…
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
