AS3 :: IDE - Dynamically Naming Movieclips?
Sep 23, 2009Ok, I've been climbing the walls trying to figure this out, looked everywhere for an answer, learned a few bits and pieces along the way, but still can't do it.I've made my Class which is a little movieclip called 'block', it's fine and does what I tell it to do ie. I can reposition itstretch itotate it and stuff.The problem is.. I want to make more of them and reference them individualy so I can change the properties of them individualy ie, the x and y values etc.
for (var i=0; i<2; i++){
var newBlock:blocks = new blocks();
this.addChild(newBlock);

AS3 :: Variable Naming With Loops And Arrays?
Aug 1, 2009I am wanting to create an array. 10 values in it (couting from 0 index to 9). Each 'place holder' will have a corresponding value to it;s index i.e.
myArray[0]=0
myArray[1]=1 etc...
I can do that in a for loop. But then I want to attach each value to a single variable name. I then want to change that each variable to a string. I then want access to all the variables outside of the for loop.
var i:Number;
var aArray:Array = new Array();
for (i=0; i<10; i++) {

The output error is 1084: expecting identifier before aArray.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Button Naming And Positioning?

for (i=0; i<folder.length; i++) {
var mainBtn:MovieClip = mainMenu.attachMovie("button", "button"+i, i);
mainBtn.mName = folder[i].attributes.name;
mainBtn._x += mainMenu["button"+(i-1)]._x+mainMenu["button"+(i-1)]._width+btnSpacing;
ActionScript 2.0 :: Naming Frame Variables?
Jul 29, 2007I created a slot machine and it works properly but i need it to do more. Currently when you spin the Reel, if you get any 4 of a kind its a jackpot. I need it so if you hit 4 "7's" lets say its different than hitting 4 "Bar's".On the main reel I have 4 frames with movie clips, each having a different (chip) and the end. I have set the random() function on them so it is completely random on how they hit. So my question is...how do I set a variable name for the frames so I know that frame 1 is a "bar", frame 2 is a "7", frame 3 is a "cherry" and so on. That way when I write the "if" statements, I can compare them so a "7" is better than a "bar".

May 9, 2010I'm creating some mc's on the stage with the attachMovie function in a loop. I have no problem naming them like that:

But I need to name them with part of an array like that:
foo.attachMovie("myClip", "myClip"+array[i]+"_mc", 200+i);
I thought that would work but I guess my synthax is wrong. How do you mix strings and arrays elements inside the () of the attachMovie?I need to get something like: myClipArrayElement1_mc for the name of the attached movies...
