RE: FLASH: Re: duplicating dots (was blank)

[Scott Jeppesen]

Nathan,

Thanks for the input. The x+2 that I sent at first was a typo. I meant x+1.

I put in what you sent me and I get the same results. First off, with the 2

variables (x and maxdots) shouldn't the value be expressions and not string

literals? The way I am viewing what is happening is that I have a text box

that shows me the value of x. What I get is the screen loads with 2 dots and

the box says that x equals 10.


Any ideas?

Scott,


Your new duplicated dots are being placed in the same location each time,

not 20px over from each new dot.  Also, being that x = 2 to start out with

and your incrementing it by two each time through the loop, you're only

going to get four dots.   You could change it to be something like this...


Set Variable: "x" = "1"

Set Variable: "maxDots" = "10"

Loop While (x < maxDots)

      Duplicate Movie Clip ("dot"&x, "dot"&(x+1), 1)

      Set Property ("dot"&(x+1), Y Position) = getProperty("dot"&x,_y) + 20

      Set Variable: "x" = x+1

End Loop


Hope that helps...
