Possible to do an actionscript For .. Each Loop?

[mattfarley]

I have about 70 variables loading into a flash project, they are all named EVS####
(ie: EVS1234, EVS1235, EVS1236, etc)

I want to manipulate each variable coming in. Is there a way to do a for each loop? Here is an example of my current code:

if (_lv.EVS2902 > 0) {
EVS2902.swapdepths(501);
EVS2902.plotter.nextFrame();
EVS2902.plotter.donotremove=true;
}
if (_lv.EVS3110 > 0) {
EVS3110.swapdepths(502);
EVS3110.plotter.nextFrame();
EVS3110.plotter.donotremove=true;
}
if (_lv.EVS3133 > 0) {
EVS3133.swapdepths(503);
EVS3133.plotter.nextFrame();
EVS3133.plotter.donotremove=true;
}
etc
etc
etc

I'd like to just have 1 For Each loop process all the variables. Is this possible?

Thanks!

what is the structure of the _lv object

does evs whatever have a name an a value?

_lv is a loadvars() object

EVS#### are just regular variables loaded from a script (externally).

I'm trying this:

for (y=500; y<8000; y++){
if ( eval(&quot;_lv.EVS&quot;+y) > 0 ) {
eval(&quot;EVS&quot;+y+&quot;.swapdepths(&quot;+y+&quot&quot;
eval(&quot;EVS&quot;+y+&quot;.plotter.nextFrame();&quot
eval(&quot;EVS&quot;+y+&quot;.plotter.donotremove=true&quot;
}
}

But it isn't working.

try putting all evs numbers in an array

evsNums = [2902,3110,..........];
_lv.onLoad = function(){
for(var i =0;i<evsNums.length;i++){
y = eval(&quot;_lv.evs&quot; + evsNums)
if(y>0){
x = &quot;_lv.evs&quot; + evsNums;
x.swapdepths(500 + i);
x.plotter.nextFrame();
x.plotter.donotremove=true;
}
}
}

_lv.onLoad = function(){
	for(var i =0;i<evsNums.length;i++){
        y = eval(&quot;_lv.evs&quot; + evsNums[i])
        if(y>0){
			x = &quot;_lv.evs&quot; + evsNums[i];
        x.swapdepths(500 + i);
        x.plotter.nextFrame();
        x.plotter.donotremove=true;
          }
}
}

ya got it working like this:

numItems = 5000;
startnumber = 2000;

for (i=0; i<=numItems; i++) {
addnumber = startnumber + i;
temp = &quot;EVS&quot; add addnumber;
temp2 = &quot;_lv.EVS&quot; add addnumber;
if (eval(temp2) > 0) {
eval(temp).swapdepths(500+i);
eval(temp).plotter.nextFrame();
eval(temp).plotter.donotremove=true;
}
}

Thanks!

Way to go Bill... You finally caught on!
