This code keeps coming back with the same value for i when the button is clicked. It is looping through but only the last value gets passed. Any help would be great.

for(var i:uint=0; i\<10; i++)  
{  
this[“Nav”+(i+1)].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, runNav);  
function runNav(event:Event):void  
{  
dispatchEvent(new changeNav(i+1))  
}  
}

Cheers!
