looking for help

i need to add code to attached buttons

**for(i=1; i\<=6; i++) {  
\_root.attachMovie(“niceButton”, “niceButton”+i, this.getNextHighestDepth(), {\_x: 50 \* i, \_y: 50});  
\_root[“niceButton”+i].onPress = function() {  
trace(i);  
}  
}**

this traces “7” for every button’s onPress!  
what i want is for each buttons to trace from 1 to 6, according to each attach.  
i’ve tried multiple version of the code but i either get undefined or “7”  
the result i’m after is the following code to be attached to each button:

**\_root.niceButton1.onPress = function() {  
trace(“1”);  
}**

i hope someone knows and can enlighten me on this please  
thanks
