[MX]MC Question

1

I’m using the code below within a movieclip (on frame 1 of the _actions layer) and it’s not working (please assume that the array is setup correctly). I’ve also tried putting the ‘this’ keyword in like this: this[“clip”+i] and no luck. This movieclip is located on the _root timeline.

What am I doing wrong?


this.createEmptyMovieClip("clip"+i, j);
setProperty ("clip"+i, _y, clipYPos);
["clip"+i].createTextField("text"+i,j,10,0,570,120);
["clip"+i]["text"+i].html = true;
["clip"+i]["text"+i].selectable = false;
[clip"+i]["text"+i].htmlText += "<font face='Verdana'><u><a href='http://" + listAry[0][9] + "'><b>" + listAry[0][0] + "</b><a/><u></font>";

Also fyi the i and j variables are setup correctly.

:tb:

You are not using associtive array referencing correctly.
Read this: associative array referencing

claudio, please disregard the associative array, I’m not having problems with that. I’m having problems with naming and referencing the emptyMovieClip and the newTextField

Hmm…I"m still having a problem with this.

I’ve tried this and no luck:


this.createEmptyMovieClip("clip"+i, j);
setProperty ("clip"+i, _y, clipYPos);
this["clip"+i].createTextField("text"+i,j,10,0,570,120);
this[clip"+i]["text"+i].htmlText += "Testing 1 2 3";

You are missing a quote on this line:

this["clip"+i]["text"+i].htmlText += "Testing 1 2 3";
