Question
Changing pics in movieclips
Hello, I have set up an animation that displays icons on a
grid. Right now everything is working ok. I have an array of 4
movieclips that are randomly selected to display on the screen.
Each has a timeline that brings it from alpha 0 - 100. So far, so
good.
Now I have to add the remaining 200 icons. Now of course I could make 200 more movieclips and add them all to the array but there must be a better way, right?
I thought I could just have just one movieclip and switch the pic out from an external xml list. But if I import them they won't work with the alpha transition because they aren't movieclips, right? Can Actionscript change them to movieclips? I am stuck. Would appreciate any help. Thanks.
