hi there.
well i have several movie clips and on a keypress the instancename of one of em will get pushed into an array i have set up and that movie clip is animated of a few hundred frames and what i want to do is make it i can target the movie clips but using the array positions to target them like instead of writing
_root.one_mc.gotoAndPlay(36)
i want to be able to type
_root.namearray[1].gotoAndPlay(36)
so what ever clips instance name is pushed into namearray position one will be the one tht goes to and plays their frame 36 so on for upto the 7 positions i have em pushed up to on that array.
the code ive shown u dosent work ive tried adding + inbetween each word but it still fails and id like to do it that way because i have 36 symbols and coding each one to go to the frames i want on their own would take ages this way it would be shorter, much shorter.
hope its not to confusing for u on what i want to do and thanks in advanced for ne help u can give.
ill check back later to see ne replies.
thanks
