FLASH: re: random text variables

[David James]

Hi Mark,

Here is the correct code for your program:


On (Release)

      Begin Tell Target ("/plate/sheet/field"&g)

            Set Variable: "cell" = eval("k" & random(5))

      End Tell Target

      Trace ("g="&g)

      Call ("1")

End On


The little EVAL above makes Flash display the variable as indicated by your

expression, rather than just the name of the variable. Your code, k &

random(5), is equivilant to eval("k") & random(5), which is very different

from eval("k" & random(5))

Subject: FLASH: random text variables


hello, i am not sure if flash 5 would fix this problem, but i've been having

trouble loading a random text variable into a text field cell...


here's the code


On (Release)

      Begin Tell Target ("/plate/sheet/field"&g)

            Set Variable: "cell" = k&random(5)

      End Tell Target

      Trace ("g="&g)

      Call ("1")

End On


k0 k1 k2 k3 k4 are variables in a text document

the variables are loaded before hand.


it will load the variables individually but gives a the generated number

when i try this code.


any ideas?
