FLASH: can't see wood for the trees

[carl captieux]

Hi All,

I have a number of mc's I want to tell to go and play frame "fade"


The loop goes through the array with mc equalling the items from array.


subMenArray = new

array("experience","products","trends","services","community","index");


function moveSubMens (){

    for(i=0; i< subMenArray.length; i++){

     mc = String(subMenArray[i]);

     _root.mc.gotoAndPlay("fade");

     }

 }



However, the problem seems to be the line: _root.mc.gotoAndPlay("fade");

What seems to be wrong with this?



telltarget("_root"+mc){

    gotoAndPlay("fade")

}

Tell Target works, but I would like to use the new syntax.


Thanks,


Carl
