OK I have narrowed the problem down to its simplest form. where gturn is a variable for the turn of a current player,
Director will recognize put ginventorylist[gturn].fish -- (fish is a property in the proplist) but it WONT do put ginventorylist[gturn].ganimal -- (ganimal is a variable that is "fish" in this instance) -- in other words, I can put a variable as part of the list name, but not for the property , because that part cannot take a string. it sees the quotations and it doesn't work. how to I convert the ganimal variable into a symbol so that I can use it this way? or is there a better way to do this.? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
