Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Actionscript / July 2008

Hi guys:

I am working on this Flash project, somehow this line of code is just not
working, I hope someone here may have an idea:
var nugget:Number = 3;
Controller.mc_art.mc_GM["mc_nugget"+(nugget+1)].gotoAndStop("hide");

However, if I replace the code above with the following code, it will work
fine as it should do:

Controller.mc_art.mc_GM.mc_nugget4.gotoAndStop("hide");

I have also done a bit debugging myself:

trace(Controller.mc_art.mc_GM.); ---------- positive, it is fine
trace(Controller.mc_art.mc_GM["mc_nugget"+(nugget+1)]); ----------- not
working, it displays "undefined"
Controller.mc_art.mc_GM["mc_nugget"+"4"].gotoAndStop("hide"); ---------- not
working...

Could someone help me please?

PS. I could always use switch or if else to make it work, but I still want to
know why this is happening
switch(nugget)
{
case 0: Controller.mc_art.mc_GM.mc_nugget0.gotoAndStop("hide");
case 1: Controller.mc_art.mc_GM.mc_nugget1.gotoAndStop("hide");
..........

}

But this is not efficient coding at all to me...
