Problem with nested movieclip

1

Hi All,

i am trying to follow some of the tutorials on this site as i am new to flash. I am stuck a little bit with this one:

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/grid.htm

I get it working on the main timeline. But if i try to nest the replicated movieclip inside another movie i don’t get it working.

So, i have a mc called ‘square’. Inside this one i have placed the mc ‘grid’. I want to do with grid exatly the same that has been done in the tutorial.

But the mc=[“grid”+num] syntax seems not to work. If i call the grids directly with grid0._x=gridx*2 their is no problem.

Thanks for your help.


onClipEvent(load) {
gridx=10;
gridy=10;
num=0;
for (var i=0;i < 10;i++)
{
  for (var j=0;j < 10;j++)
  {
	duplicateMovieClip(&quot;_root.square.grid&quot;,&quot;grid&quot;+num,num);
// ** This isn't working (But the trace output looks correct)**
	/*
	  mc=[&quot;grid&quot;+num];
	  mc._x=gridx*i;
	  mc._y=gridy*j;
	  trace(mc);
	*/
	num++;
  }
}
// ** But this is working (But i don't want to do this for every single one ;-) **
grid0._x=gridx*2;
grid0._y=gridy*2;
grid1._x=gridx*3;
grid1._y=gridy*3;

_root.square.grid._visible=0

}
