Need help controlling image loop (Enter Frame) - Oi.

[madkat]

I have a series of images coming coming in from XML (it's actually a front & back card flip effect).

I use a for loop and add an ENTER_FRAME listener to each front/back (or image). I then change the X loc of each target...

		public function formatXMLContent():void {
			
			for (var i:uint = 0; i < tourID.length(); i++) {
				card = new FlipImage(frontView[i], backView[i]);
				card.name = "card"+i;
				card.x = -i * 260;	
				card.y = 0;
				card.fLen = 300;
				card.turnSpeed = 36;
				card.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveRight);
				this.addChild(card);
				cardArr.push(card);
				setChildIndex(card, 1);	
			}	
		
			cardAddReset = cardArr.length * 198.75;
			// trace(cardAddReset);
			// trace(cardAddReset);
		}
		
		public function moveRight(e:Event):void {
			e.target.x += 10;
			if (e.target.x > 850) e.target.x = -cardAddReset;
		}

This loops perfectly from stage left to stage right endlessly. That's great. However, I need two buttons, forward & back to control the loop. Not ENTER_FRAME.

mcArrowRight.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, scrollRight);
mcArrowLeft.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, scrollLeft);

In the loop above I add each card to a cardArr Array. Thinking I could manipulate the whole array but it completely fudges my loop. The first sequence rolls through nice but those after that look bent.

public function scrollRight(e:Event):void {
     for (var i:uint = 0; i < cardArr.length; i++) {
          cardArr[i].x += 10;
	  if (cardArr[i].x > 850) cardArr[i].x = -cardAddReset;
     }
		}

I guess this wouldn't have the same affect as the first combo -- that is this must not control the individual items in the array the same as using e.target from the ENTER_FRAME addEventListener itself.
