table/for k,v pairs() question

Coldfury · 10-30-07, 01:09 AM

I did a user filled table with frames names.

and i want to make it a toggle function, so when button1 is called,
for k,v in pairs(button1) do v:Hide() end.

but or because inside the table these value are strings, or because using the "v" in v:hide() dont work.

it giving me the error about trying to put a nil value to Hide().

Any help is appreciated.

You need to use getglobal to change the strings to frames sooo you have

Code:

  local frame = getglobal(v)
	          frame :Hide()

I did a similar mistake when making StatusQuo.

Or cut out the function call and do

Code:

_G[v]:Hide()

[e] Or even above, I don't see why you need the local variable. This should work.

Code:

getglobal(v):Hide()
