There could be a notice somewhere that FlashVars parameter can be used to set _root level variables. I was not able to find any information about FlashVars in the current documentation.

Hey,

How can you populate a dynamic text element inside a movieClip that has a dynamically create instance name?

Below I have successfully attached a movieClip (with a dynamically created instance name) and wish to populate a text field (nameText) that resides within it.

** START CODE ******************************

msgFrom = mesg.substr(mesg.indexOf('(') + 1, mesg.indexOf(')') - mesg.indexOf('(') - 1);
movName = 'private_' + msgFrom;
_root.attachMovie("mc_privChatWin", movName, 9879);
_root.movName.nameText.htmlText = msgFrom;


** END CODE ******************************

Thanks a lot!

i know that it's posible to dynamicaly found clip that way:
clipArray = ['1_mc','a_mc','circle_mc','square'];
for (var j=0;j<clipArray .length;j++) {
_root[clipArray [j]]._x = Math.rand()*200;
}
but that works only if the clip are on the main timeline of the _root (or _level0) movie...

what if you want to acceed somme clips which are in subclip
like this:
for (var j=0;j<clipArray .length;j++) {
_root.tiles_mc[clipArray [j]]._x = Math.rand()*200;
}
I tried different ways but none seems to work...

the correct way seems to be
for (var j=0;j<clipArray .length;j++) {
tiles_mc[clipArray [j]]._x = Math.random()*200;
}
but
tiles_mc[clipArray[j]].duplicateMovieClip("new_mc",this.getNextHighestDepth());
doesn't work !
