I can’t get my button’s to trace out; it’s not reading my rollovers. When I manually write it out (bottom) it works. Any help with what’s wrong would be appreciated.

[SIZE=“1”]var btnAction:Array = new Array (homeBut, aboutBut, portBut, contBut);  
// var btnAction:Array = [homeBut, aboutBut, portBut, contBut];  
for (var i = 0; i \< btnAction.length; i++) {  
this.menuMC.btnAction\*.onRollOver = this.menuMC.btnAction\*.onDragOver = function() {  
//this.\_parent.homeTxt.gotoAndStop(“on”);  
trace(“bob”);  
}  
};[/SIZE]

Written out it works.

[SIZE=“1”]/\*  
this.menuMC.homeBut.onRollOver = this.menuMC.homeBut.onDragOver = function() {  
this.\_parent.homeTxt.gotoAndStop(“on”);   
};\*/[/SIZE]
