[AS2][CS3] Multiple Loops

[Mr Wabbit]

what I need to do is simple enough and it works well almost

This is a working copy of what I need to do So it works out which ones need to start on and off

Under the code i have explained the parts and below that is what I am aiming to achieve.

tval = Math.round(((ptsM[plaCon])*10)+5);
for (b=1; b<=5; b++){
    if (b+"1" < tval){
        //bidHD["bid"+b+"1"] These are to start normally
        trace (bidHD["bid"+b+"1"]+" this should show");
    }else{
        //These should start grey out bidHD["bid"+b+"1"]
        trace (_root.bidHD["bid"+b+"1"]+" this should not show");
    }
}

ptsM is my array the values follow [1,1,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,4,5,5,5,5,5,5];
bidHD - Is the parent MC
bid+b+c - are the children - C will be explained in a sec

This works well but I need it to work for 1,2 and 3
The above example works for this but is bulky.

The aim is a double for loops

tval = Math.round(((ptsM[plaCon])*10)+5);
for (b=1; b<=5; b++){
    for (c=1; c<=3; c++){
        if (b+c < tval){
            trace (_root.bidHD["bid"+b+c]+" this should show");
        }else{
            trace (_root.bidHD["bid"+b+c]+" this should not show");
        }
    }
}

The issue with the above is it picks b+c as a math equation so b=1, c=1 so its 2 which makes not what I want, I need 11 which is what the trace _root.bidHD["bid"+b+c] understands.

Hopefully that made sense. :P

Try changing 'b+c' to 'String(b)+c', which should fix the problem.
