[RESOLVED] Can't get this loop to work for some reason

[capdetrons]

Hi,

I have tried this loop on my clips with no success:

_root["subMenuButton"+i].onRollOver = function():Void {
	_root["subMenuButton"+i]._alpha = 50;
}

while if I refer to the clips individually it works:

_root.subMenuButton1.onRollOver = function():Void {
	trace("I have been rolledOver");
	_root.subMenuButton1._alpha = 50;
}

the clips can tlle when they are rolled over because this works as well:

for(i=1;i<=15;i++){
_root["subMenuButton"+i].onRollOver = function():Void {
	trace("I have been rolledOver");
	_root["subMenuButton"+i]._alpha = 50;
	_root["subMenuButton"+i].onRollOut = function():Void {
	_root["subMenuButton"+i]._alpha = 100;
	}
}

is my code wrong or is this some sort of a bug? I have also tried referring to the clips by their _level but I get no response either.

Hi,

You were putting the rollout inside the rollover and the alpha did not work.

Try,

for (i = 1; i <= 15; i++)
{
    this["subMenuButton" + i].Num = i;
    this["subMenuButton" + i].onRollOver = function()
    {
        trace("Rollover - Button " + this.Num);
        this._alpha = 50;
    };
    this["subMenuButton" + i].onRollOut = function()
    {
        trace("Rollout - Button " + this.Num);
        this._alpha = 100;
    };
}
