Can I do that?? (array do array)…
for example : i have 3 buttons & 3 destination URL.
targetURL = [“[http://www.kirupa.com](http://www.kirupa.com)”, “[http://actionscripts.org](http://actionscripts.org)”, “[http://www.me.com](http://www.me.com)”];
for(i=1; i\<=3; i++){
this[“button”+i].onRelease = function(){
getURL(targetURL[i-1], “\_blank”);
};
}
this is what i’ve been trying… but u know the result I guess 🙂
cause I won’t ask this if it’s already success…
help me please… thank u…

```auto
for (i=1; i<=3; i++) {
this["button"+i].ii = i-1;
this["button"+i].onRelease = function() {
getURL(targetURL[this.ii], "_blank");
}
}
```

It’s not workin!!!
when i click the button it opens the main folder of this fla, not the browser…, it’s the same like previous script act
by the way… your script, gets the same result like i did I guess…

If you are using MX then Movieclips can have button actions… so you don’ tneed to put the button inside of a movieclip just make the button into a movieclip and duplicate it with those actions…

hey **indojepang** 🙂
it’s not that hard to make the movie clips act as buttons. i posted an example maybe two or three days ago 🙂
honestly i don’t remember the title of the thread …
but …
```auto
this["button"+i].but.onRelease = function() { ... }
```
should work … did you tested it ?

sorry … brain lapse :sleep:
try
```auto
for (i=1; i<=3; i++) {
this["button"+i].ii = i-1;
this["button"+i].but.onRelease = function() {
getURL(targetURL[this._parent.ii], "_blank");
}
}
```

Making a MovieClip behave like a button does not require any extra scripting if you are using Flash MX… the MovieClips can use Button event handlers now… Press Release… etc…
forgive me if this was already covered, i read fast…

i think he meant that he’s lazy to create the up, over and down states 🙂
not that he didn’t know that you can use button event handlers …

oh… I don’t even use MCs as buttons any more. I always find that its easier to make one Invisible button and just place it over my MCs and target them… makes things much easier in my opinion. I forgot about making the different states…
