This works great for changing the parameters, but if I try

foo2.play()

it says Error: 1000 Unable to find FLV on server.
Any help with this would be appreciated, thanks.

Lovely site… and thanks for that tip…. even after two years!

But I am having one problem.

var mcName:Number = 2 ;
var mcName:String = “foo” + mcName ;

Whatever I do to alter the number var tracing mcName always results in “foo2″.
I can never target foo1 or fooAnythingElse

I know it’s a longshot after 2 years but thanks anyway

Oh. My.

You just changed my world forever, thank you! There are a lot of flash developers who’ve learnt on the fly, me included, and these things just aren’t known! Hello more dynamic coding!
