Hi All, I'm working off of something that someone else coded, and trying to make it read some xml data (it was just reading a static include). Anyway, it loops through 72 county nodes. I've got this part working:
//loop through and set all the county vars var countyNodeLength = countyNodes.length; for (var i = 0; i < countyNodeLength; i++) { thisCounty = countyNodes[i].firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue; thisLink = countyNodes[i].lastChild.firstChild.nodeValue // this line sets the vars - I couldn't get it to work properly using the "var" keyword set (thisCounty + "_URL", thisLink); } But, a litte later on, he had hardcoded the following stuff 72 times, where Douglas is one example of a value that would be in the "thisCounty" set in the loop above: Douglas_color = new Color(_root.Douglas.btn_color); Douglas_color.setRGB(out_color); if (Douglas_URL == "undefined" || Douglas_URL == undefined) { Douglas._visible = false; } I haven't been able to figure out a way to set that dynamically as I run through the loop. Is it even possible to do that much dynamic evaluation? Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
