Name as Path

Hi, i've just began using processing a month ago, but all my knologe about programin is based on flash, wich is fine, and now i 'm tryng to do something easy on flash that a can't find a way to do it on processing.

i wan to use a variable as a path for an object.

in flash would be like this...

for(i=0;i<5;i++){
   _root["obj"+i]._alpha=50;
}

so my movieclip obj1,,,obj5 would change!

but i dont know how to do this with processing...

thanks!

there is no way i know of to dynamicly call objects like that .. and to be honest it's not the nicest thing to do in flash too since it makes your code harder to read.

you can do something similar (looping thru objects) by keeping an array of your objects:

Code:

String[] arr = new String[]{
"a",
"b",
"c"
};
for ( int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++ )
{
println( arr[i] );
}
