API drawn duplicated button states....

[cozy]

Hi

Anyone help with this code, what it does is draw a box dynamically and assign an onPress action to the box so when it is pressed the boxs alpha value is reduced from 100 to 50, however, the duplicated clips do not do this! Any reasons why? I thought that if you duplicate a movieClip it also has all the properties of the original and the onPress action would still work!
//My code//

stop();

this.createEmptyMovieClip("heading", 1);
heading.beginFill(0x9595FF, 100);
heading.lineStyle(0.25, 0x666666, 100);
heading.moveTo(0, 0);
heading.lineTo(150, 0);
heading.lineTo(150, 20);
heading.lineTo(0, 20);
heading.lineTo(0, 0);
heading.endFill();
heading.onPress = function() {
heading._alpha = 50;
};
for (i=0; i<1; i++) {
heading.duplicateMovieClip("heading"+i, i+10);
this["heading"+i]._x = 150+i*0;

}

You only set it up for the initial 'heading' not the dups.

in your loop try...

this["heading"+i].onPress = function(){ this._alpha = 50; }

That might do it, i didn't test it but it looks right.
