Troubles with tweens after changing mc._x property

1.trouble with for loop changing mc properties

Hi,

I have 7 of mc's in a frame, each named box+number (box0, box1, box2,
box3,...).

I have the following script under the actions of this frame:

var BoxLoop;
for (var i=0; i<7; i++) {
	BoxLoop = "box" + i;
	_root.BoxLoop._visible = false;
}

In theory, the mc's should dissappear one by one when I export the
movie, but they don't.

Any clues? Thanks!

2.Set mc._x property value from an array

Im trying to import x and y points from a external file ("getDevices.txt") and 
use them to position a new MovieClip from the library in a loop.
 I know I could be using _root.attachMovie("box", "box_mc"+i, 110+i, 
{x:something, y:something});
 I've just been playing with this all day and tried many different methods, but 
still no luck. I think my problem may be in the setup of the array and not how 
its presented to _root["box_mc"+i]._y
 Because if I create a new array like ypos = new Array(20, 40); it worked

 The Actionscript code (Cant seem to find any tags, so I just used Quote)
 //get devices and loop through
 var mydevices:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
 mydevices.load("getDevices.txt");
 var ypos = [];
 mydevices.onLoad = function() {
         for (i=0; i<2; i++) {
                 //ypos = new Array([this["y"+i]]); //How is this different as 
oppose to the next line?
                 ypos.push([this["y"+i]]);
                 trace(ypos);
                 _root.attachMovie("box", "box_mc"+i, 110+i);
                 _root["box_mc"+i]._y = (ypos);
         }
 };

 I get the values 400 and 200 in the output screen, but need help assinging 
them to the objects x and y position.

 This is the contents of the text file

  &NumofDevices=5&animal0=cow&y0=400&x0=-50&animal1=horse&y1=200&x1=300
 Any ideas? where are the AS tags in these forums?

3.Trouble using variable to get mc property

I'm creating a rollover effect for a collection of 12 mcs so that on mouseover 
the clip grows a little bit. This involves locating the x and y coordinates 
each clip, and to do so I've tried to farm the job out to a few variables and 
one function, so that the onRollOver event simply sets the variables and calls 
the function.

 It's not working. Flash seems to be implying that I can't use a variable 
(string type) to get a property -- ie. variable._x rather than myInstanceName._x

 Is this correct, or is my error elsewhere?
 Hope you can help.

 (By the way, there will of course be an onRollOut event as well. Just getting 
this bit to work first.)

 Thanks;
 Rick

 (Here's the code):


 // SET UP VARIABLES
 var clipPositionx:Number = 0;
 var clipPositiony:Number = 0;
 var clipName:String = "";

 // FUNCTION TO BE CALLED 
 function rolloverClip() {
 	clipPositionx = clipName._x;
 	clipPositiony = clipName._y;
 	clipName._xscale = 110;
 	clipName._yscale = 110;
 	clipName._x = clipPositionx - 4;
 	clipName._y = clipPositiony - 4;
 }

 // ROLLOVER ACTIONS
 claire_mc.useHandCursor = true;
 claire_mc.onRollOver = function() {
 	clipName = "claire_mc";
 	rolloverClip();
 }

4._x & _y of mc relative to stage and not parent mc

Good Morning all,

 I?m trying to get the _x and _y of a movieclip relative to the stage where 
said movieclip is nested inside several others, which have been dynamically 
rotated. 

 I?m hoping there is an easy way to get this rather then taking the route of 
reverse engineering the position and rotation of each parent movieclip in order 
to calculate it.

 Thanks in advance
