I created some dynamic boxes using the  
\_root.attachMovie(“box”, “box”+x, x);  
Now, I was trying to make the tooltip using the onrollover function for all the boxes created.  
I tried using

\_root[“box”+x].onrollover=function(){  
trace(x);  
}  
in the for loop  
but it dint work. It says undefined always in the output  
Can anyone please tell me how do I get the tooltip to work with dynamic controls.  
I want the text corresponding to the particular control/button where the mouse is being kept  
Thanks
