how do you dynamically move duplicated _mc's?

JF Lachap May 9, 2006 8:44 PM

Hi there,

my first forum question, i.e. should be easy for most. Yay!

I am trying to make every duplicated _mc in the following code move right 5 pix from each other. With this code, it seems only one duplicated _mc moved 5 pix. Furthermore, my trace(["rond_mc"+i]._x) returns 10 "undefined"s? What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks for your consideration and help,

Try this:

for (var i:Number = 0; i<=10; i++) {
mc = this.attachMovie("rond_mc" , "rond_mc"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc._x = i*5 ;
trace( mc );
}//end for
