Trying to move several clips all at once using a simple for loop

[iaustin]

Using code shown below;

var i:int = 0;
var v:String = "ioc";

for(i=0; i<3; i++)
{
trace(i); //0-4 OK
trace(ioc.2.x = 100 // clip two moves OK
trace (v+i); //ioc1, ioc2,ioc3 etc OK

NOW, trying to move all clips(ioc1, ioc2, ioc3) on the stage at once, so I try...
v+i.x = 100; // I get error... Cannot assign to a non-reference value.
}

Hi,

Without seeing your file try it like this,

var i:int;
var v:String = "ioc";

for (i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
    trace(i);
    trace(v + String(i));
    this[v + String(i)].x = 100;
}
