This is really simple and probably a Lua specific question but can I concatenate a string for an element or a group so I can shorten access to elements that have the same name but end with a different #?
That way I can put it in an i = 1 to 4 do, statement. Currently I have this...
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | layout.elements.LeftTopScreen1:play() layout.elements.LeftTopScreen1:currentFrame (hudItem[1]) layout.elements.LeftTopScreen1:pause() layout.elements.MiddleTopScreen1:play() layout.elements.MiddleTopScreen1:currentFrame (hudItem[2]) layout.elements.MiddleTopScreen1:pause() layout.elements.RightTopScreen1:play() layout.elements.RightTopScreen1:currentFrame (hudItem[3]) layout.elements.RightTopScreen1:pause() |
layout.elements["LeftTopScreen" .. i]
I think this should do...
hey that's the ticket.
My problem was I was leaving in the period. Like this: layout.elements.["LeftTopScreen" .. i]
I guess the '.' is inherit with the brackets !!!
