Problem with createEmptyMovieClip

programming flash
1

Hi all,

I’m having some problems with the createEmptyMovieClip. I have a function called DisplayTechIII, this function loops through an array and create a movieclip and textfield. The text field is populated with values of the array. This part isn’t a problem but I want to be able to click a single movieclip text and have to pull a new value from an exteral file. When only one movieclip is displayed and the onPress event is trigger a new value if placed in the text field. If there is more then one movieclip created and any movieclip is clicked the new value is added to the last movieclip created. I traced the movieclip depth when clicked, all movieclips when clicked return the last movieclip depth.

Here is the portion of my code that creates the movieclips. I hope this helps and you guys can give me a hand with this problem.

Thanks in advance


function displayTechIII(arr:Array):Void{
    var nY:Number = 160;
    var nStatic:Number = 160;
    var mcTechIII:MovieClip;
    var mcBorderIII:MovieClip;
    var mcTechIIItitle:MovieClip;
    var tTechIII:TextField;
    var tTitle:TextField;
    var nwidth:Number = 0;
    var j:Number = 10;
    
    for(var i:Number = 0;i<TreasureArray[5];i++){
        
        mcTechIII = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcTechIII"+i,j);
        mcTechIII._y = nY;
        mcTechIII._x = 120;
        tTechIII = TextUtilities.createHTMLText(mcTechIII, "tTechIII",0,0,0,0, false,false,true,cssStyles);
        tTechIII.htmlText = "<span class = 'list'>"+ arr*.item + "</span>";
        nY += mcTechIII._height+2;
        var nCurrentWidth:Number = mcTechIII.tTechIII.width;
        mcTechIII.onPress = function():Void
        {
            tech.TreasureItems.length = 0;
               tech.TechItems(1);
            if(mcTechIII== _level0.mcTechIII0){
                trace("Correct");}
               //trace(tech.TreasureItems[0].item);
            trace("Depth: "+mcTechIII.getDepth());
            trace("MovieClip: "+mcTechIII);
            tTechIII.htmlText = "<span class = 'list'>"+tech.TreasureItems[0].item + "</span>";
                        
        }
        //trace("nCurrentWidth: "+nCurrentWidth);
        if(nCurrentWidth >= nwidth){
            nwidth = nCurrentWidth;
            //trace("nWidth: "+nwidth);
        }
        nStatic = nY-160;
        j++;
        
        //trace(arr*.item);
    }
}
