AS3 Targetting

Question

Having some real issues with some simple AS3 targetting.

I have three movie clips "mc1" mc2" and "mc3" inside a Movieclip called selector. This script appears in a Selector.as file attached to the outer movie.

var mcArray:Array=[mc1,mc2,23];
public function resetBtn(){
       for(var i:Number=0;i<=2;i++){
            //mcArray.gotoAndStop(bgNo);
            trace("i = "+mcArray[0]+"   ");
       }
  }

When I call the function resetBtn the mcArray trace comes back with i = NULL. If I change the mcArray values to numbers or strings this appears to work. Do I somehow need to tell the for loop that I am targetting a movieClip or change the array to specify that the mc names are movieClips?

There are some mistakes in your script, try fixing those and see if that helps.

In the array you have '23' instead of 'mc3'.

In the repeat loop you're using a Number instead of int. That may work but you shouldn't do it.

You are always tracing array[0] and not array .
