Timed animation

1

i’ve got 48 movieclips that i want to tween every 300 milliseconds or so.

the instance names on my mc’s are t1_mc, t2_mc, t3_mc, etc. up to t48_mc.

i’ve tried a for loop and a setInterval statement and i know i’m missing something.

one simple function that will give me:
new Tween (t1_mc, “_y”, Strong.easeOut, t1_mc._y+100, t1_mc._y, 1, true);
every 300 milliseconds is all i’m looking for.

any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks.

What code did you use for setInterval? That should work for what you’re looking for.

i know i’m not referencing my movieclip correctly in the tween:

[INDENT]var intervalId:Number;
var count:Number = 1;
var max:Number = 48;
var duration:Number = 300;

function animateMC():Void {
trace("count: " + count);
var letter:String = “t”+count;
new Tween (letter+_mc, “_y”, Strong.easeOut, letter+_mc._y+100, letter+_mc._y, 1, true);
if(count >= max) {
clearInterval(intervalId);
}
count++;
}

intervalId = setInterval(this, “animateMC”, duration);
[/INDENT]
