Hello All  
So here’s my problem.  
I’ve created an array from XML elements.  
I have my index saved in the var i

```auto
mc.index = i;

```

Now the problem I’m facing is dynamically changing a section of code.  
I had to hardcode like this for now.

```auto
mc.onPress=function(){
if (this.index==0){
point0.frame._visible=true;
}
if (this.index==1){
point1.frame._visible=true;
}
}

```

When what I’d like to achieve is

```auto
 mc.onPress=function(){
point[this.index]._visible=true;
}

```

Any help on the syntax please!
