Dynamic Variables for Movieclips

[arunforce]

How do you do something like

["button"+num].gotoAndStop(2)
eval("button"+num].gotoAndStop(2) doesn't work either?

Also how do you do _root.?

like _root["button"+num"].gotoAndStop(2)?

I'm migrating to AS3. :/

Thanks in Advanced.

[snickelfritz]

this["button" + num].gotoAndStop(2);

OR...

You can use:

getChildByName("button" + number).goToAndStop(2);

if it doesn't work, you have to cast it - for example:

MovieClip(getChildByName("button" + num)).goToAndStop(2);

hope this helps...
