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

Hi Paul,

I think your script will only create one duplicate movie clip because you

dont change the layer that you create the new clips into.


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

I think this would work better.


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


Well this could be a problem too. I dont have Flash here right now so i

couldnt check this but perhaps you have to use


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

to actually adress your clip copies. 


What i still couldnt figure out is how to adress the properties of MC's

using the flash 5 syntax (which would be something like this):


_root.dot[index1]"_"[index]._x


perhaps someone could explain again how to avoid eval() and set property

statements using flash 5 syntax.
