It seems to me this whole adventure is based on your desire to know "where"
the DynAPI placed you button object in the chiild array (just a guess :O) ).
This is probably caused by the default and oft not well explained habit of
the API and all of its said examples using the defauly ID setting. You can
override this.
MyButton = new DynLayer("Pascalizier",125,125,12,12)
This can make finding the little bugger allot easier then wondering where it
was randomly assigned during object creation (which creates the great
"mystery" ID).
Cheers,
Ray
PS this particular button triggers a "throw a large boulder" event on the
U.S.S Rock. If this makes no sense to you your new and I've been up to long
again. :O)

Subject: Re: [Dynapi-Help] An Array of DynLayers
That's a very educative event example, I must say.
You are creating a 'i' variable and using it in a loop. Each layer is given
a
mouseup listener that goes
alert("I am "+i)
but when is this executing ? Not now. The method you are setting is one that
will execute onmouse up, and then 'i' will be 2, because mouseups happen
after
your initialization loop. Try this one:
Events[i].onmouseup = new Function( "alert(' I am "+i+"')" )
See now each method contains a different string, because the string is
constructed on function creation, and we are not using a variable that was
set
before, as it was in your example.
