So I’m trying to get cute again by building stacks of buttons dynamically, then labeling them from an external text file.

The code I have so far is as follows:

loadVariablesNum(“patentNumbersVar.txt”, 0);

loadVariables(“patentNumbersVar.txt”, \_root);

loadText = new loadVariables();

loadText.load(“patent01NumbersText.txt”);

onLoad = function(){  
movie\_mc.\_x = 75, \_y = 50;  
};

for (i=0;i\<10;i++){  
duplicateMovieClip(“movie\_mc”, “movie”+i+"\_mc", i);  
this[“movie”+i+"\_mc"].\_y = this[“movie”+i+"\_mc"].\_y \* i;  
this[“movie”+i+"\_mc"].\_x = 75;  
this[“movie”+i+"\_mc"].btnLabel\_mc.btnLabel\_txt = this[“patentButton0”+i];  
};

But I keep getting the error message: Target not found: Target=“undefined” Base="\_level0"

I’m not sure what this means. Any suggestions are welcome!
