Re: FLASH: F5 better actionscripting - looping question

[Helen Triolo]

Hi again Jason (Rome can just wait ;-),


Haven't tried it, but in that case, it might work if you replace "_root"

with "this" (assuming othervar1 and othervar2 and combinedVars are also

in that clip, otherwise you'll have to give them correct path

identifiers, like _root.othervar1, or _root.othermc.othervar1):


for (i=1; i<10; i++) {

   this["var"+i] = othervar1 + this["name"+i] + othervar2 + newline;

   combinedVars = combinedVars + this["var"+i];

 }


Regards,

Helen
