Shrinking my actionscript code... (with _level0[myvar])

[Roel018]

Dear folks,

Currently I have this peace of code, which works great. However, as you can probably see for yourselves, this isn't the I would like my code to be. I would prefer just ONE "for (var i:Number = 1; i<=Number_of_pictures; i++)" loop so that I need to enter the values below only once.. I know I need to use _level0[variable / mc] but there is one thing I can't do or don't know how to do it: I can point to a dynamic MC name with _level0[mymc] but I can't point to a dynamic variable name like _level0[current_title_of_current_picture]....

Here's the code that works for me: I hope someone can show me how to shrink it:


=======================================================

var TempCount:Number = 0;

if (number_of_pictures >= 1){
TempCount += 1;
currentClip = "picnr" + TempCount;
_level0[currentClip].titleText = _root.picture_1_Title;
tempTitle = _root.picture_1_Title;
url = _root.picture_1_Filename;
size = _root.picture_1_Size;
LoadProgress(currentClip, url, size)
countTitleCharacters(tempTitle)
_root.picnr1.titletextfield.text = newTitleString;
}

if (number_of_pictures >= 2){
TempCount += 1;
currentClip = "picnr" + TempCount;
_level0[currentClip].titleText = _root.picture_2_Title;
tempTitle = _root.picture_2_Title;
url = _root.picture_2_Filename;
size = _root.picture_2_Size;
LoadProgress(currentClip, url, size)
countTitleCharacters(tempTitle)
_root.picnr2.titletextfield.text = newTitleString;
}

if (number_of_pictures >= 3){
TempCount += 1;
currentClip = "picnr" + TempCount;
_level0[currentClip].titleText = _root.picture_3_Title;
tempTitle = _root.picture_3_Title;
url = _root.picture_3_Filename;
size = _root.picture_3_Size;
LoadProgress(currentClip, url, size)
countTitleCharacters(tempTitle)
_root.picnr3.titletextfield.text = newTitleString;
}

if (number_of_pictures >= 4){
TempCount += 1;
currentClip = "picnr" + TempCount;
_level0[currentClip].titleText = _root.picture_4_Title;
tempTitle = _root.picture_4_Title;
url = _root.picture_4_Filename;
size = _root.picture_4_Size;
LoadProgress(currentClip, url, size)
countTitleCharacters(tempTitle)
_root.picnr4.titletextfield.text = newTitleString;
}

if (number_of_pictures >= 5){
TempCount += 1;
currentClip = "picnr" + TempCount;
_level0[currentClip].titleText = _root.picture_5_Title;
tempTitle = _root.picture_5_Title;
url = _root.picture_5_Filename;
size = _root.picture_5_Size;
LoadProgress(currentClip, url, size)
countTitleCharacters(tempTitle)
_root.picnr5.titletextfield.text = newTitleString;
}

if (number_of_pictures >= 6){
TempCount += 1;
currentClip = "picnr" + TempCount;
_level0[currentClip].titleText = _root.picture_6_Title;
tempTitle = _root.picture_6_Title;
url = _root.picture_6_Filename;
size = _root.picture_6_Size;
LoadProgress(currentClip, url, size)
countTitleCharacters(tempTitle)
_root.picnr6.titletextfield.text = newTitleString;
}

=======================================================


I get picture_1-6_Title, picture_1-6_Filename and picture_1-6_Size variables from a database and are allready know in this example..
I need to expand the number of pictures so the above example code would be impossible to maintain since it would grow and grow with every new picture added...

Thnx many times !!!!!!!!!
