Can somebody help me with some actionscript 1.0. I am trying to create some dynamic links for buttons.

var buttonNames
buttonNames = new Array();
buttonNames = ["cap_content", "cap_advertise"]

function createLinks() {
    var numberOfButtons
    numberOfButtons = buttonNames.length;
    var icounter
    icounter = -1;
    while (++icounter < numberOfButtons) {
    var name
        name = buttonNames[icounter] + "_btn";
        playSection = buttonNames[icounter];
        trace([name]);
        [name].onRelease = function() {
  trace("We are in");
            trace(playSection);
            playCapContent(playSection);
        }
}

I can get the button names to Trace, but my problem lies within the onRelease funtion, I cannot get the button name to relate to the code. The buttons have the same names as shown. I have tried a bunch of different scenerios but nothing seems to work.


Thanks In Advance

Mike,

Shouldn't you be using ActionScript 2.0? Forgive me if I'm being a little bossy but you're using an outdated version of ActionScript.

Go there. I have a lot of awesome photos that I rendered myself

yes i would rather be building this in the latest version of Flash but I am on an old Mac G3 350, Flash 2004 will not run on this machine. any clue why the line [name].onRelease = function() will not work? I have about 15 buttons with different functions, figuring this out could help me save a lot of time.


Thanks
Mike

_root["myButtonName"+i].onRelease = function(){

This syntax is called array notation , I believe. They should paste this script on the box if you ask me. It would save scripters days of work.
