Array problem from string to sub AddChild

[2le]

Hello great people.

how can it be that I cant be allowed to do this? I get errors with pladsList array which should attach a jpg to a movieclip from an XML

1. Array with strings, (MovieClips on stage).
2. addChild the loaded JPG.

gets error "value is not a function."

The forum doesn't allow me to type in the right text to show [ i ], it treats that as italics!

Put "this[" before your pladsList addChild line, and "]" before the .addChild part, so that your array element is evaluated.

I'm going to try again to show what the line should look like, by using the Attach Code button.

xmlList.length() needs to be xmlList.length

xmlList.length() is a function which tracks the length of the array.

length() is not a method of the Array class, but length is a property. I had hastily read your code wrong due to the error you specified, since I sometimes mix up Array.length with XML.length() and it spits out the same error. However, why would you store strings in your array to represent the movie clips. Store the actual reference and you wouldn't have a problem.
