For loop and accessing objects by instance name.

[RxMadjack]

Hey guys,

What I am trying to do should be very simple, I want to make several movieclip objects not visible by using a for loop.

Here is what I currently have...

for (var i:Number=1; i<8; i++){

          high.visible = false;

}

So I have 8 movieclip objects that have instance names of "high1", "high2", "high3" and so forth up to 8

What would be the correct syntax for this line of code to make this work?

high.visible = false;

Thank you.

You can use String values to target instances if you use bracket notation:

for (var i:Number=1; i<8; i++){

          this["high" +String(i)].visible = false;

}

Thank You so much to both of you, that works perfect!

for (var i:Number=1; i<8; i++){

      this["high"+i].visible = false;

}
