Need assistence with “dynamic” pathing
(Okay my english isn’t that good, and certainly not when it concerns computer terms, so forgive me if my title was misleading)
I encountered a problem in my flash file.
What I want to do is, use a For-Loop to set the size for up to 10 different Movie clips at the same time? How Do I do this?
This piece of code used to work for me:
for (i=0; i < (_root.bars+1); i++) {
setProperty("/bar"+i, _width, 16.6);
}
Where the movie clips were named: bar1 bar2 bar3…bar10
But I made some adjustments, the movie clips are now no longer directly on stage, but rather inside another movie clip with the isntance name of “mm”
note: _root.bars refers to a variable called bars which I made in the first frame of the swf file to contain numbers for me (When it is made, I gave it the value of 3), a frame where the movieclip called mm isn’t on stage yet. At first it worked, but maybe this causes the error now that I made some adjustments.
I tried:
for (i=0; i < (_root.bars+1); i++) {
setProperty(_root.mm.bar+i, _width, 16.6);
}
But it doesn’t work. I’m not a AS genius, I use it in my freetime and I have only recently started using it, so I don’t know alot.
Can anyone please help me with this isue?
