Now we start counting from 1 to (the number
of buttons we will have)...
Loop While (q
Set up a name for our new duplicate button
'dup' equals 'button1, button2, button3...' up to
'q'
Set Variable: "dup" = "button"&q
Duplicate Movie Clip ("button", dup, q)
Here we set the 'y' position of the
new button. Since the button is placed correctly to begin with, I position new
duplicates at (the place of the original one, PLUS the number of the button (1,
2, 3,... etc) times a variable I called '/:button_spacing'. It helps
to name things that you can remember what they are for months later when you are
trying to change your code. Or, as in this case, if it's someone different
entirely who is trying to read the code than the person who wrote it. People
will thank you for being clear. Yourself included.
Set Property (dup, Y Position) = (q-1)*/:button_spacing
Just in case, I also set a variable for left
indent. I have no real use for this variable so it's set to zero. But just in
case and to make the reading of the code clearer, it is a variable with a name.
