Animate CC Canvas reference instance with variable

[kevinkevinkevin1213123123]

I have multiple symbols on the main timeline with incremental instance names : player1, player2, player3

How can I reference these symbols with a string variable?

currentPlayer = 1

"player"+currentPlayer would reference "player1" for example

Is there a way to programatically reference these instances with a string variable? Or is there another way to reference these symbols without explicity calling them by name?

thanks!

Hi.

Use bracket notation. For example:

this["player" + currentPlayer].play();
