Hi Group,

I'm having so much trouble with this duplicatemovie function!
I've gotten it to a point where it works, although I'm not too sure why it
works like this and not the other ways... Anyway...

I can't get a loadMovie function to work no matter what I've tried. Here's
my code at the moment...
I have image names and X Y coordinates coming from a dataset...


        var i = 1;
        if (_root.menu_ds.Type == 1) {
                while (_root.menu_ds.hasNext()) {
                        newName = "button_"+i;
                        duplicateMovieClip(dupButton, newName, i);
                        eval(newName)._x = menu_ds.HorizontalPos;
                        eval(newName)._y = menu_ds.VerticalPos;
                        eval(newName).butState.up.loadMovie("up.jpg");
                        eval(newName).butState.down.loadMovie("down.jpg");
        
eval(newName).butState.disabled.loadMovie("disabled.jpg");
                        eval(newName).butState.onPress = function (){
                                this.gotoAndStop(2);
                        }
                        eval(newName).butState.onRelease = function (){
                                this.gotoAndStop(1);
                        }
                        ++i;
                        menu_ds.next();
                }
        }

And could anyone explain why 

this.[newName]._x = menu_ds.HorizontalPos;

doesn't work?


Many thanks...

Don
