dynammically creating MC's for lineto
Hi all. I've read in some data from an xml file that contains
various x and y coordinates. I need to now draw lines between them
all. I understand how to draw A line ie:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("triangle_mc", 1);
triangle_mc.moveTo(182, 508);
triangle_mc.lineStyle(1, 0xFF00FF, 100);
triangle_mc.lineTo(values[xaxis], values[ i ]);
Which works just fine. The problem is, I do not know how many lines I will need. I tried doing some sort of naming standard such as this:
temp = "lineName"+count
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(temp, 1)
count++
temp.moveTo(182, 508);
temp.lineStyle(1, 0xFF00FF, 100);
temp.lineTo(values[xaxis], values[ i ]);
but to no avail. Perhaps I am missing something obvious here. Could anyone point me in the right direction or perhaps a better way to do this? Thanks in advance!
