RE: FLASH: Varriable as Tell Target?

[Ezra Schwartz]

I figured out what the problem was.  If you have the variable name set to

'expression' apparently it doesn't work right.  When I set them to 'string'

they worked fine.  That's all fine and dandy but what if you want the

variable name to be determined by an expression?  Are you stuck then?

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
