RE: [flasher] Flash 4 AS troubles

[Ralf Ehe]

Hi Jules,

I think the key to your problem could be the following:

If you're constructing your variable like "..."&"...",

you've got to use the "eval"-command like


Set Variable: "ran" = random (28)

 If (eval("/:"&ran) <> 1)

       Begin Tell Target (eval("/squareFall"&ran))

             Go to and Play (2)

       End Tell Target

 End If

 Set Variable: "/:"&ran = "1"


I'm not sure, but I think you need the eval-command

when you're trying to get the value of the variable.


Just try...

Good luck

Ralf Ehe
