Re: FLASH: Change variable into a duplicated MovieClip

[Robert Bleeker]

Hi Antonio,


First of all the Random(60)+1 will never return 01 to 09 but 1 to 9. Just

remember that when you generate your "v1","v2","v3",......,"v60" variable

names.


Then your code should be:


Set Variable: "seccion"= Random (60)+1

Duplicate Movie Clip ("/esta", "repe"&var, var)


Comment: "Here is the change!"

Set Variable: "/repe"&var&":ad"= Eval("v"&seccion)



Set Property ("repe"&var, X Position)= Random(550)

Set Property ("repe"&var, Y Position)= Random(400)

Set Variable: "var"= var+1

Go to and Play (1)



Done.


Robert
