You are probably looking for something along these lines.
http://mootools.net/docs/core/Native/Array#Array:each
myArray.each(function(value, index, array){
$(value).addEvent("click",function(event) {
alert(value);
});
});
the function that you pass to each is given three params. The value at the
arrays current index, in this case myArray[index], the current index, and
the array (in this case myArray).
Here is most of your code with the modifications shown above.
