RE: [flexcoders] eval gone in AS3, how to get reference to movieclip via target name?

[Boon Chew]

I am not using Flex, I am mostly curious what I would have to do to my existing Flash actionscript code when AS3 is out for Flash.Gordon Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:                                Whoa.... not only is there no eval(),  there's no _target, no _level0, and no _global! Plus, you should almost always  use Sprite instead of MovieClip.         So what are you really trying to do? Are  you using Flex or just pure AS3? Where are you getting a string like "sprite1.sprite2.sprite3"  from? Why do you have to transform it back into a Sprite reference? Could you have  just kept the reference instead of the string?         - Gordon                         From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Boon Chew  Sent: Friday, March 03, 2006 3:41  PM  To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com  Subject: [flexcoders] eval gone in  AS3, how to get reference to movieclip via target name?             Hi all,    With the _eval being gone in AS3, does anyone know how to get to the reference  of a movieclip (via the target name string) without using _eval (e.g.  "_level0.mc1.mc2.mc3") ?  I know we can instantiate an object  from a class name string via the _global namespace but not positive about mc's.
