Re: FLASH: F5 better actionscripting - looping question

[Helen Triolo]

combinedVars = "";

for (i=1; i<10; i++) {

  _root["var"+i] = othervar1 + _root["name"+i] + othervar2 + newline;

  combinedVars = combinedVars + _root["var"+i];

}


(if the variables are in a mc instead of on the main timeline, then

change _root to _root.mcname)


Happy holidays and New Year to everyone!  (had to get one last

actionscript post in before heading off to la bella Roma to see in the

new year  ;-)  have a safe and happy one, everyone!


Ciao,

Helen
