Array of links to buttons

[Tyson_m]

This has probably been asked a million times, but anyway, I'm trying to do an array of links that'll be inserted to each of the buttons.

Here's what I did:

I already have 5 buttons on the stage, labeled s1 - s5.

linkArray = new Array();
linkArray = ["http://www.link1.html", "http://www.link2.html", "http://www.link3.html", "http://www.link4.html", "http://www.link5.html"];

var amount = 5;
for (i=1; i<=amount; i++) {
	button = this["s"+i];
	button.i = i;
	button.onRelease = function() {		          getURL(linkArray[i],"_blank");
	}
}

When I try to click on a button, the URL doesn't get passed at the onRelease instance, but a new window opens nonetheless.

Am I missing something here? Please help. Thanks!

Change this bit:

getURL(linkArray[i],"_blank");


to this:

getURL(linkArray[this.i],"_blank");


Otherwise, it doesn't know which i you are refering to when the function is called.
