Re: FLASH: Using an instance name as a var.

[Torbj�rn Caspersen]

Yes, this can be done.


If you want to use the name of the instance you're currently in, use

"_name" - a system variable that is the instance name.



Is it possible to target an MC with a variable.


Like: On release set variable /:identify = name

Tell target /:identify, goto frame/label


yup.


goto (choose expression) = name    (as "=", not "abc")


And you have to target the variable from the point of the told target, not

from the point of the "tell target" script.

The code above should work.

Also.... (sorry!)


Could you do this inside an MC of which there are many on the main

timeline:

On Release, set variable /:identify = name of the instance that the button

is in?


As always, TIA
