Setting Variables

[Stinger]

Hello,

I'm having trouble setting a variable based on a combination of strings and
another variable. I have several dynamically duplicated movie clips with
instance names of "qTotalCount_"+i. Inside these movie clips is a variable
named "qCount". I need to draw the value from "qTotalCount[i].qCount"
based on the value of a variable named "_root.ID" to set the value of
another variable called "QuestionTotal". Lets say the instance names are as
follows:

***Movie Clip Variable Values ***
qTotal1.qCount - value of 1
qTotal2.qCount - value of 5
qTotal3.qCount - value of 7

***ID value***
_root.ID - value of 3

Based on this, I need to set the variable QuestionTotal = qTotal3.qCount.
I've ran traces on all the movie clips and variables and they are all
correct. Below is the code that I've been working with but it's not
working.

QuestionTotal = _root["qTotalCount_"+_root.ID+".qCount"];
trace(QuestionTotal);


Thanks in advance for any help on this matter.

A really kind person on the Macromedia Flash Action Script Newsgroup gave me the answer to my question. The proper syntax for this script is:

QuestionTotal = _root["qTotalCount_"+_root.ID].qCount;
trace(QuestionTotal);

Concatination i guess,
remember to seperate strings from vars.
and u should be OK.
