Click once, do something, click again, do another

code:

---

if (_global.step == "level1") {

		_root["subB"+gh].onRelease = function() {

			for (var i = 0; i<6; i++) {

				_root["text"+i].html = true;

				_root["text"+i].htmlText = doc.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.name;

				trace(_global.step);

			}

			for (num=0; num<6; num++) {

				_root["text"+num].text = doc.firstChild.childNodes[this._name.substr(4, 5)].childNodes[num].attributes.name;

			}

		};

		if (_global.step == "level1") {

			_global.step = "level2";

		}

		if (_global.step == "level2") {

			root["subB"+gh].onRelease = function() {

				getURL(doc.firstChild.childNodes[this._name.substr(4, 5)].childNodes[num].attributes.info);

				for (num=0; num<6; num++) {

					_root["text"+num].text = doc.firstChild.childNodes[this._name.substr(4, 5)].childNodes[num].attributes.name;

				}

			};

			if (_global.step == "level2") {

				_global.step = "level1";

			}

		}

	}

Ok, now that you've seen that, here's my problem. I have a bunch a buttons named "subB0", "subB1", etc. In a loop, I'd like, when clicked, have all of them switch their duties. "gh" is the loop incremental value (=0, <3)

_global.step's default is "level1". If that equals level 1 when the person clicks on it, I'd like the corresponding textboxes to do one thing. However, once clicked, _global.step needs to change to "level2". If _global.step equals "level2" when clicked, it needs to do something else.

I've tried with the code above to no avail. Any idea?

task=0;

btn.onRelease=function(){
  swith(task){
     case 0:
       // do something while task=0
       task=1;
       break;
     case 1:
       // do something while task=1
       task=0;
       break;
  }
}

with this structure, you can dynamically code your flash to handle almost infinite number of tasks with one button.
