RE: FLASH: Variable variable names - aargh!

[Glenn Mitchell]

oops,


sorry for wasting you're time,


yes, code is ok,


while in a frenzy of optimising, I moved this line into a tell target comand

and forgot to add the /: thingy


anyway, thanks for replying

cheers,

Hi Glenn,


You code looks good - should no problem as long as the "value1", "value2",

etc... variables are set before they're accessed...


The following test worked fine (but is probably different than what your

script is doing)  so all I can think of is that it's maybe a math grouping

thing with the expression 100 * eval("value"&count)/total or something

unrelated to the script...


Set Variable: "total" = "50"    // or whatever it may be

Set Variable: "n" = "1"

Loop While (n <= 10)

      Set Variable: "value"&n = n

      Set Variable: "n" = n+1

End Loop

Set Variable: "count" = "1"

Loop While (count <= 10)

      Set Variable: "value"&count = 100 * eval("value"&count)/total

      Trace (eval("value"&count))

      Set Variable: "count" = count+1

End Loop


Hope that helps...
