Duplicate Movieclip Nested Property 2011-03-19 16:41:00 Reply

I am duplicating a movieclip within a movieclip.

_root.Ground.duplicateMovieClip("ground","dirt"+_root.damt,100);

It duplicates fine, however when I try to set a property of it it doesn't work. I tried these without them working.

_root[Ground["dirt"+_root.damt]]._x = 100;
_root.Ground["dirt"+_root.damt]._x = 100;

Any help would be appreciated, or any link to how the _root[] works because I couldn't find an explanation for it.

Hey, why are you set the position of the duplication after duplicated? Duplicate to the position.

ground.dirt.duplicateMovieClip("dirt"+_root.damt,1000+_root.damt,{_x:100,_y:100,somevariable:somevalue})

voila, and it's gonna duplicate it at the xy position.. otherwise at 0x0y.
