RE: [flasher] Variable Question

Hey Steve,


I'm not very good at Flash4 notation, but here goes. You had


eval("x" add n "=" add _xmouse);


Try:


eval("x" add n) = _xmouse


What you seemd to be trying to do was to use eval() to evaluate a string to

a command. This will not work. eval() will evaluate names. You cannot use is

to evaluate whole actions or commands.


As to looping in one frame, the short answer is no. Flash redraws the screen

after running the code in a frame (or sometimes after an event). You can do

this all sorts of differnt ways though, with control movieclips that just

loop between two frames and using onClipEvenet and all sorts. It doesn't

always have to be a loop in your main timeline is what I'm saying.


Take a look at http://www.moock.org/webdesign/lectures/ff2001sfMotion/ for a

great tutorial on the possibilities.
