Re: FLASH: Can an MC Instance name be a variable?

[Victor Nystad]

Here's an example using variable names and duplicate movieclip:


Set Variable: "/:headnumber" = /:headnumber + 1

Set Variable: "headname" = "head_"&/:headnumber

Duplicate Movie Clip ("../head", headname, /:headnumber)


Begin Tell Target ("../"&headname)

      Go to and Play ("2")

End Tell Target


Just make sure your target is set to "expression" if you're using a variable

for the name.


Hope this was of any help.
