RE: Flash player 6

 
Thanks Kerry. I left for vacation at noon on Thursday, so I
missed your
response. I am back now.  

Maybe I am doing it wrong but "this" is what I
have set up for toggling
my check boxes on and off.  When I call the roll function
using
delegate, it sends "i" to the roll function.  I
capture it in the roll
function using "this."  Is that the wrong way to
do it??  Is there a
cleaner, neater approach?

BTW,  I did get the code working before I left by dividing
it into 4
different "if" statements and removing
"_root." It's not pretty, but it
works.  

Also, it seems to compile fine in FP6 with delegate but I
saw a few
people reply that delegate shouldn't work.  Do you think my
users have
issues if they are using FP6?? 

Thanks again for everyone's responses!

Not if it works ^_^

I wasn't aware that you were using delegate, so, if
"this" is returning a
Number, you should be fine.

Cordially,

Also, eval() has been depreciated.  Use a reference to the
clip's
location instead.  If it's in the same timeline as the
script, you can
use:

checkBox = this["box"+i+"_mc"];

or if not, then:

checkBox =
theMovieClipTimelineWhereItsLocated_mc["box"+i+&qu
ot;_mc"];
