Whatever the parent of the State_XX buttons are, you can refer to them as named children of that parent.
So, if it's the current class use the this keyword: this["State_" + rs[i]].addEventListener(etc...); If it's another clip, etc, just refer to it by name: someClipThatHasTheStateButtons["State_" + rs[i]].addEventListener(etc...); Make sure you've named the instances via the IDE Instance name property or have explicitly set the name property of the Buttons. -jonathan On Sun, Apr 5, 2009 at 8:33 PM, Graham Pearson <gpear...@yourcfpro.com>wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On my flash stage I have 50 buttons all named with the convention of > State_IN, State_MI, State_WI, etc. > > At the present time I have 50 lines like the one line below of: > > State_IN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, StateButtonClicked); > > > What I am trying to do is when I retrieve the recordset back from the > coldfusion component is to loop through the results like > > function GetClientsWithinCategory_Result(rs.Object) { > for (var i:int = 0; i < rs.length; i++) { > State_rs[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, StateButtonClicked); > // The Value of rs[i] will return the 2 letter abriviation of the > State eg: IN, WI, etc > } > } > > > How do I go about combining State_ + the result from rs[i] so that > when a user clicks on Indiana it will run the actionscript within the > State Button Clicked Function > > > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (MingW32) > Comment: GnuPT 2.6.2.1 by EQUIPMENTE.DE <http://equipmente.de/> > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org > > iD8DBQFJ2U323GqPAgBSy90RAkayAJ95GlmD+MktDr++9Snhl5iSjk9fvACglA8m > MwJ4iFh/Q6BivYcmxHfPyIw= > =r37m > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > _______________________________________________ > Flashcoders mailing list > Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com > http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders > -- -jonathan howe _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
