If I understand the locations of your dynamic clips correctly, then _root[sSelected]._mc.hresizer.setSize...
should work. Basically, access the dynamic clip by treating _root as an associative array. If the clips aren't created in _root, then substitute the parent movie clip's name for "_root" above. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bo Parker Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2005 11:13 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] Addressing dynamically named movie clip I am working on an application where I want to apply transformations to dynamically named movie clips. I have a function which adds a shape to the stage based on a linkage name in the library: function addShape(sLinkage:String):Void { var nIndex:Number = _root.getNextHighestDepth(); var mcShape:MovieClip = this.attachMovie (sLinkage, "mcShape" + nTopDepth, nTopDepth); nTopDepth = nIndex; mcShape._x = 450; mcShape._y = 300; } from a button on the root level of the stage I call the function: squareButton.onRelease = function() { addShape("rectangle"); }; I then want to be able to apply transformations to the new movie clip using the bitstream component slider that is within a movie clip at _root.squareBar: ///////////squarebar squareBar.hs.changeHandler = function(){ _root.rectangle_mc.hresizer.setSize(squareBar.hs.value, squareBar.vs.value); } squareBar.vs.changeHandler = function(){ _root.rectangle_mc.hresizer.setSize(squareBar.hs.value, squareBar.vs.value); } I originally had a static movie clip called "rectangle" that was on the root level but have since replaced with the dynamically named movie clips. I have a variable defined on frame 1 of the root level called: var sSelected:String; Within the rectangle movie clip that gets added to the stage, upon pressing the movie the sSelected variable is set to the instance name of the rectangle selected: on (press) { sSelected = this._name; trace(sSelected); } The sSelected variable is showing up fine by my problem is how do I address sSelected or the dynamic instance name of the movie placed on stage to apply the transformations from the squareBar.hs.changeHander function? i.e. squareBar.hs.changeHandler = function () { [dynamically named movie clip here]._mc.hresizer.setSize... } Thanks in advance for the help.
