I want to have 4 to n movie clips on my stage and to be be able perform monotonous operations on all of them in a for loop like so.
for(i=0;i<numClips;i++)
{
if(this.hitTest(“clip”+i))
trace(“hit!”);
else
trace(“no hit”);
}
as you can see I’ve labeled my clips clip1, clip2, clip3… but it won’t let me reference the clip using an expression “clip”+i
If i hard code it in like this…
if(this.hitTest(“clip1”))
trace(“hit!”);
else if(this.hitTest(“clip2”))
trace(“hit!”);
else
trace(“no hit”);
then it will work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
