Question
problem creating dynamic instances of a component
I have created a component called tab which I'm using in
another movie. In the main movie, the linkage identifier for the
tab component is called tab. I'm trying to create an empty movie
clip and then create a dynamic amount of instances of this tab
component and attaching them to the empty movie clip but it's not
quite working. It is creating an instance fo the component, but I
can't figure out how to set the properties of the component such as
it's x coordinate or any of the defined parameters I created when
building the component. Here's the script I have... can anyone see
why it's not working? Thanks.
function SetupTabs()
{
var tabs = new Array("tab1", "tab2", "tab3", "tab4"); //tmp array
createEmptyMovieClip("container",0);
var prevTB:Object; //used for position - copy of previous tab object
for (i = 0; i < tabs.length; i++)
{
initOb = {BGColor:"0x37527E",FontColor:"0xFFFFFF",Link:"test.htm",LinkTitle:tabs ,OverBGColor:"0x990000",OverTextColor:"0x000000"}; //initObject parameters for tab object
var tb:Object = container.attachMovie("MM_Tab", "tab" + i, i, initOb);
container._x = 65;
if (i > 0)
tb._x = prevTB._x + prevTB.Width; //position current tab to the right of previous tab
else
tb._x = 75;
prevTB = tb;
}
}
