flash actionscript: Hello, I am trying set up a routine that plays random sounds. I have a movie
clip with 1 layer on it called soundmaster_mc. Inside of this clip, I have 4
frames. Each frame contains another movie clip called s1, s2, etc. In each of
these, I have a sound. My question is: Can I put Actionscript commands in an
array? For example: myArray = new Array() ; myArray[0] = this.s1.play() ;
myArray[1] = this.s2.play() ; I haven't tried it yet since I felt that I need
to ask other if I could or not. Has anyone done this?:confused;

OR:

myArray[0] = this.s1.play;
myArray[1] = this.s2.play;

I agree with metric152.

instead

myArray[0] = this.s1;
myArray[1] = this.s2;

then use

myArray[xxx].play();

-OR-

myArray[0] = function() { this.s1.play(); }
myArray[1] = function() { this.s2.play(); }

then use

myArray[xxx]();

storing names is not as good as storing the reference .. especially if you
are going to play it more than once. Put as much in there as possible (eg
like nsurveyor's suggestion) .. then most of the work is already done when
the array is set up, and you can directly play it after that. And the code
with eval's etc is pretty ugly as well.
