I don't think you can name variables numbers...you can start a variable with
a letter and end with a number I believe... This should work, i just tested
it on my machine and it works fine.

<wherever you define your variable..ie...stage...frame1>

bob = "object";



<action for your button>

on (release) {
setProperty (bob, _alpha, 0);
}

Subject: FLASH: Varriable as Tell Target?


Hello Flashies. Is it possible to use the value of a variable as a Tell
Target? Say I have a varriable called '1' and it's value is 'object'. Then
say I want to make a button which when pressed does a Tell Target on the
value of varriable 1, in this case 'object' ( i of course have a movie
instance called 'object). I've tried it but have been having problems. In
the above example I set the target to set its alfa to 0, but when I pressed
the button, EVERYTHING went to 0. I also tried having another movie clip
trigger the target but that didn't seam to work at all. It seams as though
it should be possible but I'm messing some small thing up. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Ezra
