RE: FLASH: locate duplicate clips ?

[mark]

How about making an array up, of 1's and 0's when you destroy when set its

corresponding element in the array to 0.  Then when you are doing the random

processing just check in the array to see if that has been removed.  


10 X 10 array


"invader"&XVal&YVal for a 2 dimensional array then just name your movie

clips Invader00, Invader01, Invader02....Invader99

Subject: FLASH: locate duplicate clips ?



hi,


i made a game, sort of space invaders, in which each invader is

a duplicate movie of one of the 4 families of invaders (blue, red,

green,

yellow).


Everything is ok for collision and remove movie clips ;


my problem is that for the invaders shoot ramdomly, i introduced

a process that can't work fine, as it asks to 1 (randomly ) of the 9

invaders

of each family to shoot. if this one (the invader) has been removed

it results in a bug in the game.


i need to call one of the duplicated movies present at the moment on the


scene.


how to locate them ?


how to catch their names ?


thanx a lot for any help.
