Re: FLASH: valueOf problem; or is it !

[Helen Triolo]

I agree with you that "for" is a good way to act on many movieclips at

once, but you don't need that targetPath and valueOf stuff to do it,

afaict.  Eg, to set the x position of 7 movieclips menu1-menu7, you can

just do:


var totalMenus = 7;

for (i=1; i <= totalMenus; i++) {

  _root["menu"+i]._x = 30;

}


or something like (in same loop):

  _root["menu"+i]._x = mcTracking._x + offset; 


if you're setting them all to follow some other mc.


Is that what you need, or have I simplified the problem and you really

do need valueOf?


Regards,

Helen
