Referencing property of dynamic instance name 1

Yo,

I need to use getValue() with this

"question0"+i+"_a"+j

but cannot quite figure out how.

Danke.

not quite sure what you mean but

i = 0;
j = 1;
var something = eval("question0"+i+"_a"+j).getValue()
trace(something)

returns false for a checkbox i placed on stage with instance name question00_a1

Thanks for the reply, Bill. I had tried eval() but it did not work in my application.

But

this["question0"+i+"_a"+j].getValue()

works for me.

Here is the new problem. This works except for the fact that

_root.score

is not being incremented; it just stays at 0.

_root.score = 0;
function onSubmit(){
	for(i=1;i<6;i++){
		for(j=1;j<5;j++){
			((this[&quot;question0&quot;+i+&quot;_a&quot;+j].getValue())==&quot;true&quot;)?_root.score++:null;
		}
	}
	scoreDisplay = &quot;You scored &quot;+_root.score+&quot; out of 5.&quot;;
}

True is returned from that test but score is not being added to. Ideas? Thanks.

code looks fine but for one thing

== "true"

i am sure should be

== true

as its not a string but a boolean being returned
