Creating a Loop
new ball review
Let's start by opening ball_addChild.fla
We may want to go back, so click File > Save As and name our new file: ball_for
Right now, our script adds a single child of the ball class, names it ball1, and positions at (100,150). What if we want to add a second child? Why not try it, with name ball2 and position (150,100):
var ball1:ball = new ball();
ball1.x=100;
ball1.y=150;
addChild(ball1);
var ball2:ball = new ball();
ball2.x=150;
ball2.y=100;
addChild(ball2);
That works:
... but it's going to get old real quick if we want to add even more balls to the stage. Imagine doing that twenty or thirty (or a hundred) times! Imagine changing your mind.... you'd lose your mind! There must be a better way.
