FLASH: MC Names & stars

[Darren Critchley]

Okay, I you all remember the star thing I was working on last week, I'm

still at it. I have figured out a way of generating up to 20 stars,

however I'm having trouble with the MC names.


I created an MC called Star

What I have done, is generate a random number between 1 and 20. (StarNo)


I then have a loop that duplicates the Star MC. I subtract one from

StarNo, until it hits zero.

This all works except the naming is not working.

Each instance I create, I want to Combine the textstring "Star" with

StarNo to make Star1, Star2, Star3, etc. By doing a trace, I found that

the variable called Starname contains the proper string. However when I

try to call the new instance of the Star MC Starname, and reference it ,

it doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas?
