Variable in Path

Hi everybody!

Im having trouble with a path to create a textfield

here is the scene:

In my level0, I have a movie clip with as instance name 'blablou'

I have it's adress transmitted to a function blablabla...

basically: this is the content of the 'destination' variable: "_level0.blablou" (verified with a trace)

wath i try to do is:


this works...
but _level0.blablou must be dynamic of course... so I thaught I would write:



first line creates the textfield, second one fills it in..
strangely enough, this looks to work, BUT the textfields are created in the root, not in the destination movieclip

how can I get this to work?

Yes! got it to work..

for records: this is the solution:

eval([destination]).createTextField(instance,100+i,coordX,coordY,boxwidth,boxheight);
eval([destination+"."+instance]).text = contenttext;

Glad you got it working. Dynamic instance names are a pretty big mess in Flash so thank you for posting your solution. I'm sure may other people will find it useful.
