I've created some MC dynamicallly and did what I thought would be assigning values to variables in the MC's as I generated them e.g.
my_mc.name = "mc" + i + j;
trace("^^^^^^^^^^^^^^****************" + my_mc.name); // Works
my_mc.mcRow = j + 1; // Thinking I'm assigning values to a variable
trace("^^^^^^^^^^^^^^****************" + my_mc.mcRow); // Works
addChild(my_mc);
So, the trace outputs do what I expect, however, when I try to use/output the mcRow values later, they do not show up e.g.
var my_FC_row = (root as DisplayObjectContainer).getChildAt(r).name; // Works
var cxmy_FC_row = [my_FC_row].mcRow; // No value- does not work
var my_FC_name = (root as DisplayObjectContainer).getChildAt(r).name; // Works
var my_FC_x = (root as DisplayObjectContainer).getChildAt(r).x; // Works
var my_FC_y = (root as DisplayObjectContainer).getChildAt(r).y; // Works
cellData[r] = [my_FC_name, my_FC_x, my_FC_y, cxmy_FC_row];
trace("$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ :" + r +" : "+ cellData[r]);
This code is in another function but I thought that the MC would still hold the value for mcRow.
What have I done/assumed incorrectly?
try this
var my_FC_row = (root as DisplayObjectContainer).getChildAt(r); // Works
var cxmy_FC_row = my_FC_row.mcRow; // Works

I'd like to ask about my program bcs it doesn't work correctly. I want to recall a set of variable in two different Sequence Array. Here is my code.
// Array of Arrays
var SequenceGo:Array =
\[
{dt:dt1, P:P1, s0:s01, s:s1},
{dt:dt2, P:P2, s0:s02, s:s2},
{dt:dt3, P:P3, s0:s03, s:s3},
{dt:dt4, P:P4, s0:s04, s:s4},
{dt:dt5, P:P5, s0:s05, s:s5},
{dt:dt6, P:P6, s0:s06, s:s6},
{dt:dt7, P:P7, s0:s07, s:s7},
{dt:dt8, P:P8, s0:s08, s:s8},
{dt:dt9, P:P9, s0:s09, s:s9},
{dt:dt10, P:P10, s0:s010, s:s10},
\];
var SequenceBack:Array =
\[
{dtback:dt10back, P:P10, s0:s010, sback:s10back},
{dtback:dt9back, P:P9, s0:s09, sback:s9back},
{dtback:dt8back, P:P8, s0:s08, sback:s8back},
{dtback:dt7back, P:P7, s0:s07, sback:s7back},
{dtback:dt6back, P:P6, s0:s06, sback:s6back},
{dtback:dt5back, P:P5, s0:s05, sback:s5back},
{dtback:dt4back, P:P4, s0:s04, sback:s4back},
{dtback:dt3back, P:P3, s0:s03, sback:s3back},
{dtback:dt2back, P:P2, s0:s02, sback:s2back},
{dtback:dt1back, P:P1, s0:s01, sback:s1back}
\];
function onNext(index:int = 0):void
{
if (index >= SequenceGo.length)
{
return;
}
var aDataGo:Object = SequenceGo[index];
var aDataBack:Object = SequenceBack[index];
//variables
F = s_teganganst.value;
m = s_masjenst.value/10000;
v = Math.sqrt(F/m);
tp = 5000/v;
f = s_frekuensist.value;
w = 2*Math.PI*f;
aDataGo.dt += t;
aDataGo.s = aDataGo.s0 - A * Math.sin(w * aDataGo.dt);
aDataGo.P.y = aDataGo.s;
if(P10.y < 607){
aDataBack.dtback += t;
aDataBack.sback = - A * Math.sin(w * aDataBack.dtBack);
aDataBack.P.y = aDataGo.s + aDataBack.sback;
}
setTimeout(onNext, tp, index + 1);
}
Actually, code
aDataBack.P.y = aDataGo.s + aDataBack.sback;
is not a fit code for the animation because aDataBack is ordered inversely from aDataGo (we have to stay this inverse order for the proper animation in my program). I want to recall the variables based on its number, so each variable will match with another variable. For example,
P1.y = s1 + s1back;
P2.y = s2 + s2back;
P3.y = s3 + s3back;
P4.y = s4 + s4back;
//and so on
I've tried the code above, but it also doesn't work. Any other expression for calling some couples of variables just like my code above? Thanks!
I want to recall the variables based on its number, so each variable will match with another variable
Ok, there are two options.
Option one, simple and straightforward: compose a method to find the correspondent back object on spot:
function findBack(P:Object):Object
{
for each (var aDataBack:Object in SequenceBack)
{
if (aDataBack.P == P)
{
return aDataBack;
}
}
}
So, that piece of code would be
var aDataGo:Object = SequenceGo[index];
var aDataBack:Object = findBack(aDataGo.P);
The possible problem here is the performance. It is fine on the scale of 10 or 100 objects, but as (I suppose) you devise a particle system, the object count easily scales to thousands, and the amount of loop-searching might become cumbersome.
So I advise to prepare a pre-indexed hash so that you won't need to search each single time.
var SequenceBack:Array =
[
// ...
];
// Dictionary is a storage of key:value data, just like Object,
// but Dictionary allows Object keys.
var HashBack:Dictionary = new Dictionary;
for each (var aDataBack:Object in SequenceBack)
{
HashBack[aDataBack.P] = aDataBack;
}
I encourage you to read more about Dictionary class.
And so that piece of code would be
var aDataGo:Object = SequenceGo[index];
var aDataBack:Object = HashBack[aDataGo.P];
Update #2: Okay, I'm pretty sure my error in update #1 was because of indexing out of bounds over the array (I'm still not used to JS indexing at 0). But here is the new problem... if I write out the different combinations of the loop manually, setting the page index to 1 in moveItem() like so:
newForm.moveItem(itemsArray[0][0], 1);
newForm.moveItem(itemsArray[0][1], 1);
newForm.moveItem(itemsArray[0][2], 1);
newForm.moveItem(itemsArray[1][0], 1);
newForm.moveItem(itemsArray[1][1], 1);
newForm.moveItem(itemsArray[1][2], 1);
newForm.moveItem(itemsArray[2][0], 1);
...
...I don't get any errors but the items end up on different pages! What is going on?
Update #1:: Using Sandy Good's answer as well as a script I found at this WordPress blog, I have managed to get closer to what I needed. I believe Sandy Good misinterpreted what I wanted to do because I wasn't specific enough in my question.
I would like to:
Get all items from a page (section header, images, question etc)
Put them into an array
Do this for all pages, adding these arrays to an array (i.e: [[all items from page 1][all items from page 2][all items from page 3]...])
Shuffle the elements of this array
Repopulate a new form with each element of this array. In this way, page order will be randomized.
My JavaScript skills are poor (this is the first time I've used it). There is a step that produces null entries and I don't know why... I had to remove them manually. I am not able to complete step 5 as I get the following error:
Cannot convert Item,Item,Item to (class).
"Item,Item,Item" is the array element containing all the items from a particular page. So it seems that I can't add three items to a page at a time? Or is something else going on here?
Here is my code:
function shuffleForms() {
var itemsArray,shuffleQuestionsInNewForm,fncGetQuestionID,
newFormFile,newForm,newID,shuffle, sections;
// Copy template form by ID, set a new name
newFormFile = DriveApp.getFileById('1prfcl-RhaD4gn0b2oP4sbcKaRcZT5XoCAQCbLm1PR7I')
.makeCopy();
newFormFile.setName('AAAAA_Shuffled_Form');
// Get ID of new form and open it
newID = newFormFile.getId();
newForm = FormApp.openById(newID);
// Initialize array to put IDs in
itemsArray = [];
function getPageItems(thisPageNum) {
Logger.log("Getting items for page number: " + thisPageNum );
var thisPageItems = []; // Used for result
var thisPageBreakIndex = getPageItem(thisPageNum).getIndex();
Logger.log( "This is index num : " + thisPageBreakIndex );
// Get all items from page
var allItems = newForm.getItems();
thisPageItems.push(allItems[thisPageBreakIndex]);
Logger.log( "Added pagebreak item: " + allItems[thisPageBreakIndex].getIndex() );
for( var i = thisPageBreakIndex+1; ( i < allItems.length ) && ( allItems[i].getType() != FormApp.ItemType.PAGE_BREAK ); ++i ) {
thisPageItems.push(allItems[i]);
Logger.log( "Added non-pagebreak item: " + allItems[i].getIndex() );
}
return thisPageItems;
}
function shuffle(array) {
var currentIndex = array.length, temporaryValue, randomIndex;
Logger.log('shuffle ran')
// While there remain elements to shuffle...
while (0 !== currentIndex) {
// Pick a remaining element...
randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * currentIndex);
currentIndex -= 1;
// And swap it with the current element.
temporaryValue = array[currentIndex];
array[currentIndex] = array[randomIndex];
array[randomIndex] = temporaryValue;
}
return array;
}
function shuffleAndMove() {
// Get page items for all pages into an array
for(i = 2; i <= 5; i++) {
itemsArray[i] = getPageItems(i);
}
// Removes null values from array
itemsArray = itemsArray.filter(function(x){return x});
// Shuffle page items
itemsArray = shuffle(itemsArray);
// Move page items to the new form
for(i = 2; i <= 5; ++i) {
newForm.moveItem(itemsArray[i], i);
}
}
shuffleAndMove();
}
Original post: I have used Google forms to create a questionnaire. For my purposes, each question needs to be on a separate page but I need the pages to be randomized. A quick Google search shows this feature has not been added yet.
I see that the Form class in the Google apps script has a number of methods that alter/give access to various properties of Google Forms. Since I do not know Javascript and am not too familiar with Google apps/API I would like to know if what I am trying to do is even possible before diving in and figuring it all out.
If it is possible, I would appreciate any insight on what methods would be relevant for this task just to give me some direction to get started.
Based on comments from Sandy Good and two SE questions found here and here, this is the code I have so far:
// Script to shuffle question in a Google Form when the questions are in separate sections
function shuffleFormSections() {
getQuestionID();
createNewShuffledForm();
}
// Get question IDs
function getQuestionID() {
var form = FormApp.getActiveForm();
var items = form.getItems();
arrayID = [];
for (var i in items) {
arrayID[i] = items[i].getId();
}
// Logger.log(arrayID);
return(arrayID);
}
// Shuffle function
function shuffle(a) {
var j, x, i;
for (i = a.length; i; i--) {
j = Math.floor(Math.random() * i);
x = a[i - 1];
a[i - 1] = a[j];
a[j] = x;
}
}
// Shuffle IDs and create new form with new question order
function createNewShuffledForm() {
shuffle(arrayID);
// Logger.log(arrayID);
var newForm = FormApp.create('Shuffled Form');
for (var i in arrayID) {
arrayID[i].getItemsbyId();
}
}
Try this. There's a few "constants" to be set at the top of the function, check the comments. Form file copying and opening borrowed from Sandy Good's answer, thanks!
// This is the function to run, all the others here are helper functions
// You'll need to set your source file id and your destination file name in the
// constants at the top of this function here.
// It appears that the "Title" page does not count as a page, so you don't need
// to include it in the PAGES_AT_BEGINNING_TO_NOT_SHUFFLE count.
function shuffleFormPages() {
// UPDATE THESE CONSTANTS AS NEEDED
var PAGES_AT_BEGINNING_TO_NOT_SHUFFLE = 2; // preserve X intro pages; shuffle everything after page X
var SOURCE_FILE_ID = 'YOUR_SOURCE_FILE_ID_HERE';
var DESTINATION_FILE_NAME = 'YOUR_DESTINATION_FILE_NAME_HERE';
// Copy template form by ID, set a new name
var newFormFile = DriveApp.getFileById(SOURCE_FILE_ID).makeCopy();
newFormFile.setName(DESTINATION_FILE_NAME);
// Open the duplicated form file as a form
var newForm = FormApp.openById(newFormFile.getId());
var pages = extractPages(newForm);
shuffleEndOfPages(pages, PAGES_AT_BEGINNING_TO_NOT_SHUFFLE);
var shuffledFormItems = flatten(pages);
setFormItems(newForm, shuffledFormItems);
}
// Builds an array of "page" arrays. Each page array starts with a page break
// and continues until the next page break.
function extractPages(form) {
var formItems = form.getItems();
var currentPage = [];
var allPages = [];
formItems.forEach(function(item) {
if (item.getType() == FormApp.ItemType.PAGE_BREAK && currentPage.length > 0) {
// found a page break (and it isn't the first one)
allPages.push(currentPage); // push what we've built for this page onto the output array
currentPage = [item]; // reset the current page to just this most recent item
} else {
currentPage.push(item);
}
});
// We've got the last page dangling, so add it
allPages.push(currentPage);
return allPages;
};
// startIndex is the array index to start shuffling from. E.g. to start
// shuffling on page 5, startIndex should be 4. startIndex could also be thought
// of as the number of pages to keep unshuffled.
// This function has no return value, it just mutates pages
function shuffleEndOfPages(pages, startIndex) {
var currentIndex = pages.length;
// While there remain elements to shuffle...
while (currentIndex > startIndex) {
// Pick an element between startIndex and currentIndex (inclusive)
var randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * (currentIndex - startIndex)) + startIndex;

// And swap it with the current element.
var temporaryValue = pages[currentIndex];
pages[currentIndex] = pages[randomIndex];
pages[randomIndex] = temporaryValue;
}
};

I tested this code. It created a new Form, and then shuffled the questions in the new Form. It excludes page breaks, images and section headers. You need to provide a source file ID for the original template Form. This function has 3 inner sub-functions. The inner functions are at the top, and they are called at the bottom of the outer function. The arrayOfIDs variable does not need to be returned or passed to another function because it is available in the outer scope.
function shuffleFormSections() {
var arrayOfIDs,shuffleQuestionsInNewForm,fncGetQuestionID,
newFormFile,newForm,newID,items,shuffle;
newFormFile = DriveApp.getFileById('Put the source file ID here')
.makeCopy();
newFormFile.setName('AAAAA_Shuffled_Form');
newID = newFormFile.getId();
newForm = FormApp.openById(newID);
arrayOfIDs = [];
fncGetQuestionID = function() {
var i,L,thisID,thisItem,thisType;
items = newForm.getItems();
L = items.length;
for (i=0;i<L;i++) {
thisItem = items[i];
thisType = thisItem.getType();
if (thisType === FormApp.ItemType.PAGE_BREAK ||
thisType === FormApp.ItemType.SECTION_HEADER ||
thisType === FormApp.ItemType.IMAGE) {
continue;
}
thisID = thisItem.getId();
arrayOfIDs.push(thisID);
}
Logger.log('arrayOfIDs: ' + arrayOfIDs);
//the array arrayOfIDs does not need to be returned since it is available
//in the outermost scope
}// End of fncGetQuestionID function
shuffle = function() {// Shuffle function
var j, x, i;
Logger.log('shuffle ran')
for (i = arrayOfIDs.length; i; i--) {
j = Math.floor(Math.random() * i);
Logger.log('j: ' + j)
x = arrayOfIDs[i - 1];
Logger.log('x: ' + x)
arrayOfIDs[i - 1] = arrayOfIDs[j];
arrayOfIDs[j] = x;
}
Logger.log('arrayOfIDs: ' + arrayOfIDs)
}
shuffleQuestionsInNewForm = function() {
var i,L,thisID,thisItem,thisQuestion,questionType;
L = arrayOfIDs.length;
for (i=0;i<L;i++) {
thisID = arrayOfIDs[i];
Logger.log('thisID: ' + thisID)
thisItem = newForm.getItemById(thisID);
newForm.moveItem(thisItem, i)
}
}
fncGetQuestionID();//Get all the question ID's and put them into an array
shuffle();
shuffleQuestionsInNewForm();
}
Serge's solution here seemed like the way to go about this, but I'm a bit afraid that my circumstances may be too different...
I have a button where users can add a new set of rows with controls to a FlexTable, in order to allow them to insert a new member into a record set. After designing and building the app to do this (and despite assurances to the contrary), a requirement was then added for the users to be able to edit the record sets at a later date.
I've finally managed to get the data retrieved and correctly displayed on the Ui - for single member record sets. As a final stage, I am now attempting to extend this to accommodate record sets having more than one member. Obviously this requires determining how many members there are in the record set, and then adding the new rows/control group to the FlexTable, before loading the member into each control group.
So within this routine, (depending on how many members there are) I may need to trigger the same callback, which the user normally does with a button. However, the difference with Serge's fine example, is that his code triggers the checkbox callback at the end of his routine once all the Ui components are in place. My situation needs to do this on the fly - and so far I'm getting 'Unexpected error', which suggests to me that the Ui is not able to update with the added FlexTable controls before my code attempts to assign values to them.
Does anyone have any insight into this problem? Is my only recourse to completely re-build a fixed Ui and dispense with the dynamic rowset model?
Code follows -
1. event for adding controls:
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
var oFlexGrid = app.getElementById('ExpenseDetail');
var oRowCount = app.getElementById('rowCount');
var oScriptDBId = app.getElementById('scriptDBId');
var iRows = parseInt(e.parameter.rowCount);
var sVId = e.parameter.scriptDBId;
var vGridDefs = loadArrayById(sVId); //retrieve upload definition array from ScriptDB
var vControlNames = [];
if (isOdd(iRows)){
var sColour = 'AliceBlue';
} else {
var sColour = 'LavenderBlush';
};
oFlexGrid.insertRow(0);
oFlexGrid.insertRow(0);
oFlexGrid.insertRow(0);
oFlexGrid.insertRow(0);
oFlexGrid.setRowStyleAttributes(0,{'backgroundColor':sColour});
oFlexGrid.setRowStyleAttributes(1,{'backgroundColor':sColour});
oFlexGrid.setRowStyleAttributes(2,{'backgroundColor':sColour});
oFlexGrid.setRowStyleAttributes(3,{'backgroundColor':sColour});
var vExpenseDef = Get_NamedRangeValues_(CONST_SSKEY_APP,'UIAPP_GridExpense');
iRows = iRows+1;
vControlNames = CreateGrid_MixedSet_(iRows, vExpenseDef, oFlexGrid, app);
oRowCount.setText(iRows.toString()).setValue(iRows.toString());
//SOME INCONSEQUENTIAL CODE REMOVED HERE, LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED IT
vGridDefs = vGridDefs.concat(vControlNames); // unify grid definition arrays
var sAryId = saveArray('expenseFieldDef', vGridDefs);
oScriptDBId.setText(sAryId).setValue(sAryId); //store array and save ScriptDB ID
if (e.parameter.source == 'btnExpenseAdd'){
hideDialog(); //IGNORE CHEKCBOX-DRIVEN CALLS
};
return app;
2. routine that calls the event
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
var oPanelExpense = app.getElementById('mainPanelExpense');
var oPanelIncome = app.getElementById('mainPanelIncome');
var oPanelEdit = app.getElementById('mainPanelEdit');
var chkExpenseAdd= app.getElementById('chkExpenseAdd');
var bExpenseTrigger = e.parameter.chkExpenseAdd;
var sVoucherId = nnGenericFuncLib.cacheLoadObject(CACHE_EDIT_VOUCHERID);
var sVoucher = e.parameter.ListSearch1Vouchers;
var aryVoucherInfo = getVoucherEditDetail(sVoucherId);
//SAVE FOR RECORD MARKING CALLBACK
nnGenericFuncLib.cacheSaveObject(CACHE_EDIT_OLDRECORDS, JSON.stringify(aryVoucherInfo), CACHE_TIMEOUT);
sVoucher = nnGenericFuncLib.textPad(sVoucher, '0', 7);
var bExp = (sVoucher.substring(0,2) == '03')
var oRowCount = app.getElementById('rowCount');
var iRowCount = parseInt(e.parameter.rowCount);
var sControlName = '';
var vControlVal = '';
var iExpIdx = 0;
var sControlType = '';
var oControl = '';
var vSummaryTotal = 0;
for (var iVal in aryVoucherInfo){
sControlName = aryVoucherInfo[iVal][2];
vControlVal = aryVoucherInfo[iVal][3];
switch (sControlName){
case 'ESUM60':
vSummaryTotal = vControlVal;
break;
case 'EXUSRN':
continue; //DON'T OVERWRITE CURRENT USERNAME
break;
};
if (sControlName.indexOf('_')!=-1){ //TEST FOR CONTROL SET MEMBER
var aryControlSet = sControlName.split('_');
if (parseInt(aryControlSet[1])>iRowCount){//*** TRIGGER THE EVENT ***
Logger.log(bExpenseTrigger + ' - ' + !bExpenseTrigger);
chkExpenseAdd.setValue(!bExpenseTrigger, true);
iRowCount = iRowCount +1;
};
};
oControl = app.getElementById(sControlName);
var vCache = cacheSaveReturn(CACHE_UIEX_LISTS,sControlName);
if (typeof vCache == 'undefined'){
oControl.setValue(vControlVal);
oControl.setText(vControlVal);
//controlSetTextBox(oControl,vControlVal);
//controlSetDateBox(oControl,vControlVal);
} else {
if (!(nnGenericFuncLib.arrayIsReal(vCache))){
vCache = JSON.parse(vCache);
};
vCache = vCache.indexOf(vControlVal);
if (vCache != -1){
oControl.setSelectedIndex(vCache);
} else {
controlSetListBox(oControl,vControlVal);
};
};
};
//SOME CODE REMOVED HERE
hideDialog();
return app;
Mogsdad to the rescue!
The answer (see above) for those at the back of the class (with me) is to simply pass the app instance parameter (e) to the event function, calling it directly from the main routine, thus keeping the chronology in step for when it returns the app to complete the routine. No need for the checkbox in this situation.
This only took me all day, but thanks Mogsdad! :)
Snippet below taken from 1/2 way down code sample 2 in the OP:
if (sControlName.indexOf('_')!=-1){ //TEST FOR CONTROL SET MEMBER
var aryControlSet = sControlName.split('_');
if (parseInt(aryControlSet[1])>iRowCount){
eventAddExpense(e); //THAT'S ALL IT TAKES
iRowCount = iRowCount +1;
};
};
I am using a forEach loop that adds movieclips to the stage for each node in my XML. How does one give these movieclips unique instance names as their being added in the loop?
Here is my parseList function which contains the forEach loop mentioned and the syntax I'm using which isn't working for me.
private function parseList():void {
//use Number variables to keep track of current x and y properties as list display is generated
var titleField:TextField = TextField(listItem);
var itemY:Number = 503;
var itemX:Number = 0;
var artistTracker:String = Playmaster_Jukebox.currArtist;
var artID = 0;
var albID = 0;
var itemID:Number=0;
for each (var listItemData:XML in mainXML.artist[artID].album[albID].track) {
var listItem:MovieClip = new ListItem(itemTitle);
listContainer.addChild(listItem);
listItem.name = "itemID" + " " + albID + " " + itemID;
itemID++;
listItem.y = itemY;
listItem.x = itemX;
TextField(listItem.listItemTitleField);
itemY += listItem.height + 10;
}
}
I am a beginner with the forEach loop and don't understand it yet so comments are appreciated!
If I understand your question correctly; then you're asking how to store the "listItem" MovieClips as you read them from the XML document.
To do this you're probably going to want to use either an Array or a Map:
Using an Array ie:
var listItemArray:Array = new Array();
for each (var listItemData:XML in mainXML.artist[artID].album[albID].track) {
var listItem:MovieClip = new ListItem(itemTitle);
listContainer.addChild(listItem);
listItemArray.push(listItem);// adds the item to the array
}
Using a Map ie:
var listItemMap:Object = {};
for each (var listItemData:XML in mainXML.artist[artID].album[albID].track) {
var listItem:MovieClip = new ListItem(itemTitle);
listContainer.addChild(listItem);
listItem.name = "itemID" + " " + albID + " " + itemID;
listItemMap[listItem.name];// adds an item by the .name you created for it.
}
The map will allow you too look up the items by the names you've given the different items. ie: listItemMap["name"] would find the element with named "name".
The array will allow you to loop through them in order. ie: listItemArray[0] would find the first element.
It's up to you to decide which would be better for your purposes.
Most of this is working and even with the error, it continues to work in part:
// Make PostItNote MC draggable and keep ON TOP
mcMXredBox.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, fl_ClickToDrag);
var q:int = 1;
// Add multiple copies of PostItNote when used
function fl_ClickToDrag(event:MouseEvent):void
{
event.currentTarget.parent.startDrag();
event.currentTarget.parent.parent.setChildIndex(DisplayObject(event.currentTarget.parent),87);
var my_PIN = new postItNote();
my_PIN.name = "my_RTC" + q; // Doesn;t like this line
this.parent.addChild(my_PIN);
trace("my_PIN = " + my_PIN);
this.my_PIN[q].x = 1388.05; // Doesn't like this line
this.my_PIN[q].y = 100;
q++;
}
The error is
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at postItNote/fl_ClickToDrag()[postItNote::frame1:71]"
my_PIN.name = "my_RTC" + q; // Doesn;t like this line
This means that name is not a property of the postItNote class.
this.my_PIN[q].x = 1388.05; // Doesn't like this line
You seem to be using the wrong syntax here. What you want is probably just:
my_PIN.x = 1388.05; // In this context, my_PIN already refers to the movie clip named '"my_RTC" + q'
