basic as3 question

• fues

  I have a quite basic as3 question. In a for-loop I would like to pass a variable to each movieclip I attach:

  for (var i:int=0; i<5; i++) {
  var item = navClip.addChild(new asset_navbut());
  // now in actionscript 2 I would have done something like this:
  item.myX = i*15

  }

  Any ideas how to do this in as3?
  Thanks.

  At a glance it looks like you've forgotten the semi-colon in the line where you pass the variable.

  Yep I think it's the lack of semi-colon'ness as the following worked fine. I substituted your navClip for an empty sprite and the asset_navbut() method for a textfield constructor and it worked fine.

  var navClip:Sprite = new Sprite();

  for(var i:int; i<5; i++)
  {
  var item = navClip.addChild(new TextField);
  item.textColor = 0xFF0000;
  item.text = "Y HELO THAR" + i;
  item.x = i*150;
  trace(i);
  }

  this.addChild(navClip);

  for (var i:int=0; i<5; i++) {
  var item = navClip.addChild(new asset_navbut());
  item.myX = i*15
  item.y = item.myX
  item.addEventListener(MouseEvent... clickHandle)

  }

  function clickHandle(evt:Event){
  trace(evt.target.myX)
  }
