I am attempting to create an interactive map of a business office, floor by floor. Each floor has offices, cubicles, and conference rooms. The map will display a description of the room over which the mouse hovers.

If I have an array of “room IDs” (“conf101”, “conf102”, “conf103”, etc.), and these IDs serve as the prefix to a movie clip instance (“conf101\_mc”) representing each room, how may I assign an event listener to each instance (using a loop)?
