Question

It is possible to dynamic change the name of the vars is AS3 using flash? I mean, create for example 10 vars with one root name like: myvar and then incrementing a number, like myvar0, myvar1, myvar2 and so on.

I while ago i achived this in AS2 with this code:

for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
    var mc = _root.attachMovie("my_square", "my_square_"+i, i);
    mc._x = i * 50;
}

But now im in AS3 and the var a need to copy is this:

var caja1:HTMLTextBlock = new HTMLTextBlock();

How can in generates in a FOR, caja1, caja2, caja3 and sp.

Thanks for any help!

I think a very simple and clean way of achieving this is creating an array.

var caja:Array = new Array();

for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
    caja[i] = new HTMLTextBlock();
}

Just remember that the first entry in the array starts with 0 and not 1 (i.e. caja[0]).

Hope this helps 🙂
