Hi !
Can anyone help me out on this one ?
If I use a variable in a SHOW or HIDE function I get an error message : Object Not Found : The called object is not a valid object type (undefined? null?).

My script is like this :

var obj2=this.GetName();
Debug.trace(obj2);
obj2.Hide();


The Debug.trace command returns the correct name of the object, but it doesn't hide a line later. Is using variable possible for objects or am I missing something

To Hide the current object you would use:



All your script is doing is creating a string called obj2.

You are then trying to hide a string.

Hope this help

Thanks for your quick reply Brenden !

I'm trying to create a small memory game. If you click on the first cover card the value 1 is added to the counter and the name of the object is written into the variable obj1 which I need to hide later on.

When the variable counter hits 2 the result is evaluated and if the cards are the same they stay open but if the cards don't match the two covers obj1 and obj2 will show again.

I've attached an imp so that you can see what I'm trying. I am not that good at scripting so if you could help me along on this I would be very grateful.

Hi Klaus

the script you posted won't work because your asking it
to hide the string contained in the variable obj2

However if you store the object in obj2 like this, it will work

var obj2=this
Debug.trace(obj2)
obj2.Hide()

Thanks Chris!

I think that will help.
