Hiya, I am trying to dynamicallly name intervals and clear them and I can’t figure what I’m doing wrong. Here’s my code:

[AS]  
\_root.onMouseDown = function() {  
setMyInterval();  
};  
var counter:Number = 1;  
function setMyInterval() {  
trace(“setMy Interval:”+counter);  
this[“myInterval”+counter] = setInterval(myFun, 1000, counter);  
counter++;  
}  
function myFun(intervalID:Number) {  
trace(“myFun:”+intervalID);  
clearInterval(this[“myInterval”+intervalID]);  
}  
[/AS]  
I think my problem is just in naming the interval when it is cleared, if anyone can help me out it would be a massive help. Thanks ! 🙂
