>>> mcScrollingIconContainer["clip"+i].onRelease = function():Void
Don't use anonymous functions. If you have to use AS2, then use mx.utils.Delegate instead. Also, you keep repeating, "mcScrollingIconContainer["clip"+i]" in your code over and over in the same loop. Instead, I think a tighter way (and perhaps better performance since there is not a continual lookup) is to create a reference to it instead, and then just use the reference to assign behavior: var thisContainer:MovieClip = mcScrollingIconContainer["clip"+i]; thisContainer.onRelease = Delegate.create(this, onContainerRelease); thisContainer.onRollOver = Delegate.create(this, onContainerRollOver); thisContainer.onPress = Delegate.create(this, onContainerPress); thisContainer.onReleaseOutside = Delegate.create(this, onContainerReleaseOutside); Jason Merrill Bank of America Global Technology & Operations & Global Risk L&LD eTools & Multimedia Join the Bank of America Flash Platform Developer Community Are you a Bank of America associate interested in innovative learning ideas and technologies?
