odd one this, I think

I am trying to develope a flash player 6 compatible app. Its a dynamic courseware program that generates instances of componets and populates them depending on the contents of an XML document.

I have sorted the problem of getNextHighestDepth() not being available. (took some time )

The latest wierd problem is this:-

The code below writes to the original component no problem.

eval("caiText").text = "Get in the text";

The next bit of code is supposed to write to the instances of the original component.

eval("caiText"+dp).text = "Get in the please";

It doesnt work thought. It used to works in Flash player 7. The dp is the next highest level. Surely this should work?

P.S. I hope this makes sense I really a bit of a newbie to actionscript

anyone?

I believe i read something about that..
the thing is that eval can't be used directly, try making a var of it first:

var thingy = eval("caiText"+dp);
thingy.text = "Get in the text please";

Thought that you where on to something there. Alas no luck, it didnt work.

if you do a trace like follows

trace(thingy.text);

it outputs the text fine. Do Flash 6 depth levels not work properly or something?
