Hi!
I have a whole lot of movieclips instanced MC1, MC2, MC3... I want to turn off
the visibility for all of these, but since there are so many of them I want to
use a for loop to do it. I have tried to use this code:

for(i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
["MC"+i]._visible = false;
}

but it didn't work. I have also tried to use a textfield to read from, like
this:

for(i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
tempText = "MC"+i;
tempText.text._visible = false;
}

of course, that didn't work either.
Does anyone here posses the knowledge of how it's done?
Does that anyone feel like sharing their insights with their fellow flashers?
Thanks in advance!

This should work

for(i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
tempText = eval("MC"+i);
tempText.text._visible = false;
}

Someoneelse would like the 'this[...]' notation ...
I prefer eval

HTH,

Hi,

for(things in this){
if(typeof(this[things]) == "movieclip"){
this[things]._visible = false;
}
}

that will check all movieClips and make them invisible...

hope that helps
