Using and referring to dynamically created instances

programming flash
1

Hi,

I’m creating a DDR style game. The ‘moving graphics’ are being randomly and dynamically created with the default instance name (instance28, instance 30…) I want to be able to refer to these different elements according to another movie clip I press (in this case, they look like piano keys).

So, if a ‘C’ moving graphic is created, I want the C movie_clip with a listener attached to check the ‘C’ moving graphic.

stop();

//random notes
var noteTimer = 0;
var note;

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, frameTrigger);

function frameTrigger (evt:Event) {

//randomly spawn notes
noteTimer++;

if (noteTimer == 10) {
        //make a random number
        var ranNum:Number = Number(Math.round(Math.random() * 2));
        
        if (ranNum == 0) {
            //rest
            trace("rest");
            }
        
        else if (ranNum == 1) {
            //snowflake 1
            note = new Csign();
            trace("Csign");
        
        } else if(ranNum == 2) {
            //snowflake 2
            note = new Dsign();
            trace("Dsign");

        }
    
    note.x = 685;
    note.y = 353;
    
    addChild(note);
    noteTimer = 0;
    trace(note.name);
}

}

//piano note listeners
C_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playC);
Csharp_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playCsharp);
D_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playD);

//button modes
C_mc.buttonMode = true;
Csharp_mc.buttonMode = true;
D_mc.buttonMode = true;

//functions for listeners
function playC (evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace(“C”);
/if (note.x > 200 && note.x < 300){
trace(“well done”);
} else {
trace(“bad!!”)
}/
C_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

function playCsharp (evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace(“C#”);
Csharp_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

function playD (evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace(“D”);
D_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

Any help is appreciated!
