HEY.
I have the following code i am trying to modify to fit my needs and im looking for some suggestions.
//frame 1
num = 15;
ypos = 10;
n = 1;
while (n <= num) {
duplicateMovieClip ("button", "button" add n, n);
setProperty ("button" add n, _y, ypos + n*32);
n = n + 1;
}
setProperty ("button", _visible, 0);
The MC "button" contains 2 variables that need to be changed as the MC is duplicated.
The first variable is "Book"
The second variable is "Title"
I want to be able to load these variables from a txt file externally, to make the editing process a bit less painless, and have the MC duplicate and insert the values of Book, Title, then the next duplicate would have Book1, Title1, etc, from what i would have in the text file.
I understand the process of duplicating the main MC, "button" as scripted above, although i am lost as to how to control the naming of the dynamic text boxes (holding the Book and Title variables) in each duplicated MC, so i can link these variables from the text file.
Anyone have any good ideas?
thanks
eric

this might work (but i haven't tested it):
since each duplicated instance has a name (button1, button2, etc. . ) you should be able to just target the text boxes this way: button1.Book, button2.Title.
here is the part i am guessing on: if you have the variable that is being passed in called button1.Book instead of Book1, maybe it will work.
hope that helps.
