Hi

Code: [Select]

num_array = new Array("null", "1", "1", "2", "2", "3", "3");
data_array=new Array("null");
mc_array = new Array("null");
ttl_card = 6;
what = 0;
function store_num(mc:MovieClip, num:Number) {
mc_array.push(mc);
data_array.push(num);
mc.gotoAndStop(num);
//mc.fig_no = num;
trace(num);
}
for (i=1; i<=ttl_card; i++) {
what = this["data"+i];
store_num(_root["card_mc"+i], what);
}
for (i=1; i<=ttl_card; i++) {
mc_array[i].onRelease = function() {
trace(data_array[i]);
};
}

i have input value into every mc's "what" but dont konw why all of var are undefined.


Thanks...

does the mc exist, before you call that function?
if it does not, how would the function receive a pointer to a instance - and a nonexistant MC cannot receive a release event! - ?
And if you just loaded it, did you wait for the loaded event, to make sure it is completely loaded, before you do any action to it?
I realy don get the idea behind this funtion - why 3 loops?

Why did you post this to Flash MX 2004? Are you using this old version?

Code: [Select]

for (i=1; i<=ttl_card; i++) {
mc_array[i].onRelease = function() {
trace(data_array[i]);
};
}
if i change above code to following code:
mc_array[1].onRelease = function() {
trace(data_array[1]);
};
mc_array[2].onRelease = function() {
trace(data_array[2]);
};
mc_array[3].onRelease = function() {
trace(data_array[3]);
};
mc_array[4].onRelease = function() {
trace(data_array[4]);
};
mc_array[5].onRelease = function() {
trace(data_array[5]);
};
mc_array[6].onRelease = function() {
trace(data_array[6]);
};
it works....i dont konw where gets wrong...
acutally, it's a game. user takes a pair of cards.

Thanks.....
