Simple Question I think

[Kyungnielsen]

Hi,

How do I loop through 10 button names?

Button1.onPress = function() {
addToArray();
};
Button2.onPress = function() {
addToArray();
};
.
.
.
.
Button10.onPress = function() {
addToArray();
};

I had something like this in my mind:

Button[i].onPress = function() {
addToArray();
};

-but nope it doesn't work.

Thanks,
Kyungnielsen

Ups,

Button(i).onPress = function() {
addToArray();
};

The i in brackets [] became italic.

I hope you got my point

Thanks,
Kyungnielsen

you forgot the for

for(i=1;i=10;i++){
  Button(i).onPress = function() { 
    addToArray(); 
  };
}

or you could

for(i=1;i=10;i++){
  _root["Button"+i).onPress = function() { 
    addToArray(); 
  };
}

Great - Thanks

Hi,

Now I have an add on for this problem:

I generates x buttons based on input from a array with the following code:
<br>
<hr><br><pre>
for (m=0; m<WrongOnes.length; m++) {
_root.fb.attachMovie("BackToQuestions", "QNumberWrong"+[m], WrongOnes[m]);
//Simple alignment of number on button
if (WrongOnes[m]<10) {
p = " "+(WrongOnes[m]+1);
} else {
p = (WrongOnes[m]+1);
}
_root.fb["QNumberWrong"+m].QuestionNumber = p;
//Placement
_root.fb["QNumberWrong"+m]._x = -90+m*distance;
_root.fb["QNumberWrong"+m]._y = 25;
_root.fb["QNumberWrong"+m].dynamicButton.onRelease = function() {
i = m;
FeedbackDisplay();
};
}
<hr><br>
</pre>
When one of dynamic buttons is pressed it's going to update the display by splitting some arrays(i) into different text fields.

The looping dosen't work as it assign the last value of m to all the i on all the buttons. <br>The functionallity I am looking for is: When button 1 is pressed split array(1), when 2 is pressed split array(2), button(i) --> array(i) and so on

Any suggestions on how to solve this?

cheers,
KyungNielsen

_root.fb["QNumberWrong"+m].dynamicButton.prototype.onRelease = function() {
	i = m;	
	FeedbackDisplay();
};

well your still not using the prototype method to assign events and methods to your objects

[Kyungnielsen]

Well this prototype thing seems to scare me off

Even with your help (I really appreciate it - thanks) I can't make it work.

It works fine if I hardcode it, so the path & syntax should be ok, but then there obvious is no reason for creating dynamic buttons.

I'll keep on figthing....

when ever you type in

object.method = function()

insted type

object.prototype.method = function()

and thats about it if your assigning a function use the prototype method
