Re: FLASH: Duplicate Movie Clips

[Bill Herz]

Of course I've set the instance name. And...


Duplicate Movie Clip ("/movieclip", "new_movie", 100)

Set Property ("new_movie", X Position) = 100

Set Property ("new_movie", Y Position) = 100


works!


But these code...


Set Variable: "index" = 1

Duplicate Movie Clip ("/movieclip", "movie_"&index, 100)

Set Property ("movie_"&index, X Position) = 100

Set Property ("movie_"&index, Y Position) = 100


do NOT work. So I suppose that there is something wrong with "movie_"&index .

Could you help more?


Thanks,

Bill
