You need eval("square"+i).

Subject: FLASH: Flash 5 Beginner's Problem


Hope someone can help!

I have six movie clips ("square1" - "square6") on six layers in my main
timeline. In the first frame of my "actions" layer I have:

for (i=1; i<=6; i++) {
setProperty (("square" + i), _x, ("square"+i)._x+5);
}

Then in the 10th frame of the "actions" layer, I ask the movie to goto 1 and
play.

Unfortunately, instead of moving the clips by 5 pixels every loop, this
moves the whole lot off screen in one go.
Should my first bit of code be in a handler of some kind? Why are the "on"
and "onclipevent" handler options dimmed in my action code window?

Suggestions gratefully received.

Mike

PS. Sorry if you have received this multiple times - it's not coming through
to my mailbox, so I'm trying different setttings.
