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?
I know we can instantiate the class via the _global namespace but not
positive about mc's.
Using the object collection, like you should've been doing
The problem is when you get an entire string (the
target name), you just want to get to the reference in
one shot (e.g. mc1.mc2.mc3). The collection method
requires parsing before you can get to the reference.
I was hoping Macromedia would provide at least a
similar way to get to it when they

While I agree that eval still had a use or two, you can easily write
the function yourself and just add it to your code Library.. almost
as good

Use getChildByName( name):

Will getChildByName work with a nested target name (e.g. _level0.mc1.mc2.mc3)?
No, it gets the child with the particular name in the display object
container. You'll want to split the string apart:
// Not tested - but you get the basic idea
var parts:Array = name.split(
_root[something+i].onRollOut=function()
{
}

hi,
can you help with this line of code?
eval(_root.something + i + .onRollOut) = function()

}
well i know this is wrong in flash 6.
Is this possible?
this[_root.something
