Trying to access XML data from for loop not working...

Asked by 1Cougar in ActionScript, Macromedia Flash

Tags: , ,

Hi,

This is driving me nuts!  I want to load images from an XML file into a scrollpane (which is also not working properly).  I am having trouble accessing my XML object--aVideos[index].imagei, where i is 1, 2, 3 etc.  If I hard code this to "aVideos[index].image1, aVideos[index].image2 etc" it works.  But, I would like to load many images from this XML object in a for loop.  Another expert suggest using "eval", but that didn't work or I didn't manage to use it correctly.  Can someone see what is wrong with my code?

Many thanks in advance!Start Free Trial

for (i=1; i<=9; i++){ 
 
_root.mcMain.createEmptyMovieClip("imageholder+i", _root.mcMain.getNextHighestDepth());
_root.mcMain.imageholder+i.loadMovie(aVideos[index]."image"+i); 
setProperty("_root.mcMain.imageholder"+i, _x, i+390);
setProperty("_root.mcMain.imageholder"+i, _y, 0);
_root.myScrollpane.invalidate();
};
