? Why are you using the different variable names for the diff Movie

Clips?

/M1:varM1, /M2:varM1 etc. would be easier (just slightly).

``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

The following counts the number of trues from /M1:varM1 to /M5:varM5:


Set Variable: "n" = "1"

Loop While (n <= 5)

      If (Eval ("/M" & n & ":M" & n) = true)

            Set Variable: "Count" = Count + 1

      End If

      Set Variable: "n" = n + 1

End Loop


You use Eval like above when you want to get the value of a string that

results from concatenation (combining the string elements).


If n= 3 then

("/M" & n & ":M" & n) becomes /M3:M3


but Eval("/M" & n & ":M" & n) gets the value of /M3:M3

which in this case will be either true or false.
