Ray, you were up to late. I know where the button is in the array (after
all, I put it there). The problem was the event that was being created was
being carried into the <body> with the function
{
myText.setHTML("I am " + i);
}
That isn't what I wanted, as Jordi pointed out. I wanted two have to events
on two seperate buttons where i was resolved to its value apon the creation
of the event, not when the event was called.
But now that I know how to make it go, and that I can create an array of
objects and assign their events in a for loop, I am happy.
There are some things that I can not do, but that is because it is trying to
mix server-side VBScript with client-side JavaScript. And if I actually try
to do that, then I've been up too long.
Oh, wait, I can do it.
<%
dim myArray()
%>
<script language='JavaScript'>
var i = 0;
var myArray = new Array;
<%for i = 0 to X - 1%>
myArray[++i] = <%=myArray(i)%>;
<%next 'i%>
</script>
Which, in effect, creates a string of assignment statements for the client.
The client doesn't actually do a loop, and I don't actually have to write
out each assignment.
Wow... perhaps I haven't been up long enough.

Subject: RE: [Dynapi-Help] An Array of DynLayers
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)

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.
