Hello coders,
I've been having mixed results with dynamic movieclip naming. For
some reason, using the same code doesn't work each time and I don't
know why.
I used to use "eval", but since it's going to be phased out I've been
trying more accepted approaches using "this" (instead of "_root").
For example:
// myImageString: usually "image0" or "image"
// myCounter: to loop through a series
var myMC:String = (myImageString + myCounter + "_mc");
var myImageHolder:MovieClip = this[myMC];
I'll use the above pair a few different times in my movie. The first
time it works fine.
trace(myImageHolder._name+ " width is " +myImageHolder._width);
trace(myImageHolder._name+ " height is " +myImageHolder._height);
image01_mc width is 514
image01_mc height is 120
Later on I reuse the same code, and get different results:
trace ("myImageHolder name is " +myImageHolder._name);
trace ("myImageHolder width is " +myImageHolder._width);
myImageHolder name is image01_mc
myImageHolder width is 0
Help please. What am I doing wrong?
thnx =)

PS: If there's a typo, it's prolly from a bad copy/paste into this
email.
