Im creating an array to hold co-ords, scale, rotation, etc for a menu system. I’m having trouble working out the best way to tell it that its current position is, say, mc\_A and now it should show, say, mc\_D. At present in my array I have a status parameter which is set to true if its the current movieclip, so mc\_A is true. Now mc\_D is triggered, what is the best way to tell the array that now mc\_D is true and mc\_A is now false. I understand that I could just have a line saying \*\*\_root.myMenuArray[0].status = “false”; **before I call** \_root.myMenuArray[4].status = “true”; \*\*but i’m sure theres a better way to this? Anybody have any tips?
