[Xerte] variables in dot syntax

Mon Jul 26 11:03:28 BST 2010

I'd make a custom button that reaches up to the XMLNode for a custom
parameter and sets its text from that, rather than trying to reach into
the button once it's loaded.

In the proto interaction, I found the button swf can not be addressed
until loaded.
So I added a load event below the button.
As each swf loads, I want to set some parameters.

So in the proto, a line queries the icon above for it's rs, then needs
to use that to set the params on the correct button.

While:

myVar = 'swfFile';
debug(dave_4.[myVar]button._totalFrames);//dave_4 is unique rs of button
above

reports correctly

I can't find any syntax that will allow a var for the "dave_4" part, so
I can make it dynamic in the proto.

Same here:
debug(_level0.engine.IFC.PG_MC22.DEC_MC1.PG_MC4.Int_MC1.but1.swfFile.but
ton._totalFrames);

Works hardcoded; can't find any syntax to vary the "PG_MC4" part
