Re: FLASH: locate duplicate clips ?

[Robert Bleeker]

Hi Fletch,


Inside your invader MC's you set variable "alive"=1 inside the first frame

of those MC's. Then when you are randomly selecting a duplicate MC you check

if that MC is alive:


If(randomMC:alive)

    Comment: "Yes it is alive so you can use it"

End If



Maybe you want to loop the random selection until you get an alive MC. get

what I mean?
