Hi check this out,
for (i = 0; i < total; i++)
{
...
duplicateMovieClip(clip_to_copy, "clipid" + i,
i);
var word_mc:MovieClip = eval("clipid" + i);
trace("word_mc = " + word_mc);
trace("eval() = " + eval("clipid" + i));
...
}
Any ideas what I am doing wrong here.
I duplicate a clip and use eval to get a reference back to it, ie
word_mc below
But as you can see from the output, word_mc is always null
BUT if I change the line 'var word_mc:MovieClip' to just 'var word_mc',
ie remove the type definition
It works, so why if I define the type definition for my variable does
the assignment break?
Cheers alan.
Output...
word_mc =
eval() = _level0.clipid1
word_mc =
eval() = _level0.clipid2
word_mc =
eval() = _level0.clipid3
word_mc =
eval() = _level0.clipid4
