Im having some trouble with some code. buttons are not working.

```auto

menuLoc = new Array("menu_main", "menu_philosophy", "menu_portfolio", "menu_resume", "menu_contact");
for(i=0; i < menuLoc.length; ++i){
        _level0.navMenu.menuLoc*.onRelease = function() {
            trace("hit");
        }
}

```

the array has the instance names of the movieclips which are located in navMenu.
