Help me please

Hello,
I've an array of permanently changing values and I want that my movies m0-4 change to that framenumber in the array.

First question,
How can I do it with a for-loop?
like:
for(i=0;i<5;i++) {
????????
}

Second question, WHY DOESN'T IT WORK?

if I do m0.gotoandstop(40) if changes.... but not when I'm trying to get the value from the array :/

here's the original source code:

m0.gotoandstop(actval[0]);
m1.gotoandstop(actval[1]);
m2.gotoandstop(actval[2]);
m3.gotoandstop(actval[3]);
m4.gotoandstop(actval[4])
stepnow = stepnow+step;
gotoAndPlay(2);


Thanks for any help

It's often best to resolve the retreval of values from array's before attempting to use them within other parts of your code. If you are having trouble a good way is to separate the processes and reintegrate them later.

Although in theory based on what you've said, something like:

for(i=0; i<5;i++){
m[i].gotoAndStop(actval[i]);
}

should work fine, it's difficult to know with out the context of the code. If this won't work put in some extra steps to resolve the variables outside of the gotoAndStop() line.

Also use trace commands to check that it is resolving you variables correctly.
