I want to create a submenu from my array.

var subArray:Array = new Array(“aboutUs”, “whoweare”, “whatwedo”);

I need to

(i) create a button for each of the an instance name from the array

(ii) add the name to the button in a textbox

(iii) fade the button on to the stage

The fundemental problem I have is creating the buttons by iterating thougth a loop.

Any help would be great
