Changing Properties of Multiple Movie Clips with 1 Action

1

Hi all,

Id like to create something similar to this…

http://www.ksarch.com/

you’ll notice on their main page, when you roll over section “living” all movie clips below which are “living” projects are highlighted, while others are faded out.

I have a vague notion that this is done by creating a series of arrays, one for living, one for learning, one for working, etc etc etc… and then changing whole sale all MC’s contained in those arrays upon roll over.

First of all, am i correct in this assumption? If so, i really need some pointers to get started. Say i want to define these arrays, and on the press of a button, one directs its movie clips to change alpha to 50, and the other to 100. All of these movie clips by the way are visible on the stage.


var High = new Array();
High[0]=mc_pAICM;
High[0]=mc_pBangkok;
 
var Low = new Array();
Low[0]=mc_pBayer;
Low[1]=mc_pBuk;


mc_but30.onPress=function(){
Low._alpha=50;
High._alpha=100;
}

thanks for any help you can provide! thank you!!
