makin calender.. variable scope problem

[lgs]

I'm makin an events calender for my brothers clan website (will release open-source soon)..
I've been working on it for the last few days (over 130 lines of code) and I am almost complete, but I have came across a problem..
When the user highlights a date on the calender that has an event, I want a textbox at the bottom of the page display info about the event..
I am using the following code and all the arrays, variable, movieclips etc. are setup:

for (k=0; k<_root.eventsArray.length; k++) {
eval(_root.eventNumbers[k]).onRollOver = function() {
calenderBase.eventDescription = _root.eventsArray[k];
};
eval(_root.eventNumbers[k]).onRollOut = function() {
calenderBase.eventDescription = "";
};
}

When the user highlights a date, instead of the textbox displayin the description, it displays "undefined"..
I think that the problem is that on the 3rd line of code, the script cannot find the k variable because if I add 'trace(_root.eventsArray[k])' it traces the description..
How do I fix this problem?
Thanks

If you attach the event text to the object that you are assigning the rollovers to, then you can read it directly without needing K.

for (k=0; k<_root.eventsArray.length; k++) 
{
  var ev = eval(_root.eventNumbers[k]);

  // make a copy here, where you can still read K
  ev.eventCpy = _root.eventsArray[k];

  ev.onRollOver = function() 
    { // inside the function you can't read k, but you can read eventCpy
      calenderBase.eventDescription = this.eventCpy;
    };

  ev.onRollOut = function() 
    {
      calenderBase.eventDescription = "";
    };
}
