Hi,

1) You have to overturn closures. There is a tool: sym.setVariable().

var bullets = ["bullet1", "bullet2", "bullet3", "bullet4"];

sym.setVariable("fadeInArray", bullets);

2) Then, you have to browse this array using a loop.

$.each( sym.getVariable("fadeInArray"), function(index,item){ console.log(item) } ); // This line returns array items.

$.each( sym.getVariable("fadeInArray"), function(index,item){ sym.$(item).fadeIn(1000) } );

A better solution: you can also create a class using Edge Animate UI (for instance: fadeEffect). Then: sym.$( ".fadeEffect" ).fadeIn(1000);

HI,

This is pretty basic but driving me mad.

I have 4 bullet text boxes titles:

bullet1

bullet2

bullet3

bullet4

that I want to fade in on a click, and rather than have code for each one like:

sym.$("bullet1").fadeIn(1000);

sym.$("bullet2").fadeIn(1000);

sym.$("bullet3").fadeIn(1000);

sym.$("bullet4").fadeIn(1000);

I want to put them in a variable in creation complete:

var bullets = ["bullet1", "bullet2", "bullet3", "bullet4"];

and call them from click on stage:

sym.$("bullets").fadeIn(1000);

but it won't work!!!!

Any ideas?

thanks!
