FLASH: Why does this not work? (Flash 5)

[Paul Steven]

Hi all


I am creating a grid of movie clips using duplicate movie clip. I am reading

the grid data from an array called Grid_Data. i.e


// ///////////////////////////////

// Initialise Gme Grid Data

// Key: D=Dot, W=Wall, S=SuperDot

// ///////////////////////////////

Grid_Data = new Array();

Grid_Data[0] = new Array("W", "W", "W", "W", "W", "W", "W", "W", "W", "W",

"W", "W", "W", "W", "W", "W", "W", "W", "W", "W", "W");

Grid_Data[1] = new Array("W", "D", "D", "D", "W", "D", "D", "D", "D", "S",

"D", "D", "D", "D", "D", "D", "D", "D", "D", "D", "W");


etc


var Dot1_X_Position=90.7;

var Dot1_y_Position=89.5;


var Distance_Between_Dots=15;


for (index1=0;index1<21;index1++){


	for (index2=0;index2<21;index2++){


	if ((Grid_Data[index1][index2])=="D"){


		duplicateMovieClip ("Dot", "Dot" + index1 + "_" + index2 , 10 );


		var Dot_X_Position=Dot1_X_Position+(index2*Distance_Between_Dots);

		var Dot_Y_Position=Dot1_Y_Position+(index1*Distance_Between_Dots);


		trace (Dot_X_Position);

		trace (Dot_Y_Position);


		setProperty ("Dot" + index1 + "_" + index2,_x, Dot_X_Position);

		setProperty ("Dot" + index1 + "_" + index2,_y, Dot_Y_Position);


		alert="Dot" + index1 + "_" + index2;

		trace (alert);


	}


	}


}


It is creating the correct positions - however I don't think it is actually

creating any movie clips - anyone see anything wrong with my code. I think

the problem may lie in the bit where I create the name of the new movie clip

i.e "Dot" + index1 + "_" + index2


Any help much appreciated


Paul
