Hi Guys,

Noob time in Noobville.

I keep getting Error #1006: value is not a function when I run this, but everything I’ve read about arrays says this code should work. Any awesome advice?

```auto

import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import caurina.transitions.*;
 
var myBtnArray:Array = new Array("mc_Angio", "mc_BetaBlocker", "mc_Aspirin", "mc_Ace", "mc_Smoking");
 
for (var i:Number = 0; i < myBtnArray.length; i++)
{
myBtnArray*.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, overHandler);
}
function overHandler(event:MouseEvent)
{
trace("Over");
}

```
