The trace action is giving the correct individual clip on rollover, and the correct frame based on the i variable but **this[“button”+i]** doesn’t seem to be assigning to control the instance on the goto action.

Could anybody help with this??

```auto
clips = 4;
for (var i = 1; i<=clips; i++) {
    this["button"+i].i = i;
    this["button"+i].onRollOver = function() {
  trace("clip"+[this.i]);
        "clip"+[this.i].gotoAndStop(this.i);
      
    };
}

```
