RE: [Flashcoders] this[rfcClip].container.attachMovie[imgID];
So this is what happened...
trace("imgID: "+imgID); //returns layout5_set3_img10
trace("rfcClip: "+rfcClip); //returns lay5_img10
trace(this[rfcClip]); //returns undefined
trace(this); //returns undefined
and this will sound stuipid but wtf does all that mean? How can the loadImages
function have and undefined scope?

C'mon Corban - you can do this - don't get frustrated and ask us to do
everything ;) - walk back a little in your code. What does trace(rfcClip) show?
That should be the same name as your clip.
What does trace(this) show in your loadImages function show? That should be
the same timeline as the clip you are targeting...
I know you're frustrated, don't give up. Just a little logic with trace
statements will show you where you are going wrong.

RE: [Flashcoders] this[rfcClip].container.attachMovie[imgID];
Really. Whats sad is I really don't know how all this works. I have been coding
AS1 for about 2 years now and I have gotten this far without really know much
besides understanding basic logic really well. I don't mean to ask a lot of
questions I am just at one of those humps in my learning that I need a little
insight into what's possible.
I never knew I could get different scopes by tracing(this)... Interesting
stuff. I am going to look more but sorry if I have to ask...

Have been out of the loop since yesterday, but again, some proper tracing
should knock this down.
Instead of tracing
trace("rfcClip: "+rfcClip+" - typeof("+typeof (rfcClip)+")");
(ick!)
do:
trace(this[rfcClip])
In your code, you have rfcClip as just a string, so no, it's not going to be a
movie clip until you do this[rfcClip] - which you should trace to see if its
resolving to an actual clip.
