How to Target a dynamically created MC

Asked by MartiniMon in Adobe Flash, Web Graphics Software

Tags: Adobe, Flash, CS3 - V9, Actionscript 3

thanks for reading, here is the situation.

*** Using AS3 ***

I am creating a new object on the stage via the library and I want to specify it's name via an argument passed to the function.

OUTSIDE of the function, I need to be able to interact with the created object from other sprites, not unusual. The problem I am having is trying to target the new mc, creating it is not the issue.

So I need a simple statement like

newMC.visible = false;

However for some reason I cannot seem to get the target path correct. I've tried eveythig i can think of to no avail.
the code below should be self explanatory.

If you are going to go through the effort to respond, please be sure to test it first.

Thank you!

}
 
 
makeHeaderBtn(0, hit_button_home, btnHome, "link", "HOME", "", "");
 
// The following throws these errors: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
btnHome.visible = false; // does not work
this.btnHome.visible = false; // does not work
 
// not sure if the following works or not, because although the instance is NOT visible,
// I get this error: 1120: Access of undefined property instance48.
 
instance48.visible = false;
