Thanks Ian. That's the method I'm looking for, but can it work two
levels deep? I'm really looking to change one MovieClip within each
of these columns. Here's the code:
private function changeChar(e:Event):void {
var newFrame:uint = Math.random()*50;
var whichColumn:uint = Math.round(Math.random()*50);
var column:Sprite =
Sprite(e.target).getChildByName(String(column + whichColumn));
var ec:MovieClip = column.getChildByName(endChar);
ec.gotoAndStop(newFrame);
}
- MM
If each of the columns has .name='column1' etc:
e.target.getChildByName(column10).gotoAndStop(5);
should do it.
But personally I'd at least do some type-checking on all that, and
would probably create a method inside an AllColumns class to handle
changeChar(). (Obviously I don't know what you're doing, though...)
