Re: FLASH: can i refer to mc's programatically

[Robert Bleeker]

Better do this, add the a=a+1 otherwise you end up in an endless loop

situation:


Set Variable: "a" = 0

    Loop While "a" < 8

    Set Property ("/br" & a, X Position) = getproperty("/br" & a,_x) - 2

    Set Property ("/br" & a, Y Position) = getproperty("/br" & a,_y) +

((a/30) * 58)

    Set Property ("/br" & a, Alpha) = getproperty("/br" & a,_alpha) - 5

    Set Variable: "a"=a+1

    End Loop
