Hi,
I have ten buttons (btn1,btn2,btn3...) each one loads a jpg inside a mc
in this way:

Code: [ Select ]
btn1.onRelease = function(){
             loadMovie("myPictures/1.jpg",_root.container1)
}
btn2.onRelease = function(){
             loadMovie("myPictures/2.jpg",_root.container2)
}
btn3.onRelease = function(){
             loadMovie("myPictures/3.jpg",_root.container3)
}
.....and so on.......
  1. btn1.onRelease = function(){
  2.              loadMovie("myPictures/1.jpg",_root.container1)
  3. }
  4. btn2.onRelease = function(){
  5.              loadMovie("myPictures/2.jpg",_root.container2)
  6. }
  7. btn3.onRelease = function(){
  8.              loadMovie("myPictures/3.jpg",_root.container3)
  9. }
  10. .....and so on.......


How can I write all this stuff in a single onRelease function (so if my buttons become 30 I won't have to write again and again, but only change
a value)
in a way like:
Code: [ Select ]
btn[i].onRelease = function(){
            loadMovie("myPictures/"+i+".jpg",_root.container[i])
}
  1. btn[i].onRelease = function(){
  2.             loadMovie("myPictures/"+i+".jpg",_root.container[i])
  3. }


I know this is not the right syntax, I've tried in several ways, but I'm not able to solve this problem

thx a lot

Instead of "btn[i]", you need to construct the dynamic variable name within the containers namespace.

Something like this, where "container" needs to be the Movieclip containing btn1, btn2, etc.
If all of the buttons are in the _root timeline, container[] would be _root[].

Code: [ Select ]
for(i=0; i<n; i++)
{
   container['btn' + i].onRelease = my_func;
}
  1. for(i=0; i<n; i++)
  2. {
  3.    container['btn' + i].onRelease = my_func;
  4. }
Strong with this one, the sudo is.
