Some syntax question

[zin]

Hi, I'm trying to do a for loop execution for the following commands in Expression Editor:

Assuming that i have following objects in scene:
ball_0
ball_1
ball_2
ball_3
ball_4

for($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++)
{
string $tmp = ("ball_" + $i );
$tmp.tx = $tmp.tx + 1;
}

I encounter syntax errors with these commands. There could be a way out using SetAttr, however I am trying to avoid using that in Expression Editor. Are there better ways to get around this problem??

Thanks

Zin

ahh $tmp.tx isnt well defined besides direct connections are only possible most of the time in expressions and this my friend is amel script use xform instead. Besides it would still require eval (or (), or something else that parses the variable first) in order to work (asuming it would be possible firstplace, you se $tmp is a variable).

Expressions and MEL are two quiet different beasts even toug they look alike.
