For Loop and Array onPress Assignments

[jbum]

To answer your immediate question, you can create your own properties on buttons. I create a property called idx and use it to store the logoCount number.

Then, within the event handler, you can use this.property to refer to the thing you stored.

code:

---

for (logoCount=1; logoCount<=6; logoCount++) 

{

   temp = eval("logo"+logoCount);

   temp.idx = logoCount;  // store it here...

   temp.onRollOver = function() 

   {

                scaleFactor[this.idx] = true;

   };

   temp.onRollOut = function() {

         scaleFactor[this.idx] = false;

   };

}

---

If it were me, I probably wouldn't store scaleFactor in a separate array, but would also assign scaleafactor to each individual button, just I'm doing with idx. I like to keep stuff associated with buttons or movieclips in the buttons or movieclips.

code:

---

for (logoCount=1; logoCount<=6; logoCount++) 

{

   temp = eval("logo"+logoCount);



   temp.onRollOver = function() 

   {

       this.isScaling = true;

   };

   temp.onRollOut = function() {

       this.isScaling = false;

   };

}
