hey everyone. I just need a little help with this annoying problem. I have an image that loads into an empty movieclip inside a movieclip.

I have 5 tween functions, in an array that move the movieclip “dummAOutside” when the Movieclips “ArrowBck” and “ArrowFwd” are pressed. When I test the movie it fires all the functions until it goes the last and stops. also the “number” is just a variable I use to help trace the function. Is there a way to get this to work. or if anyone has an easier way to do this let me know. thanks in advance

//the array:  
var featuresArry:Array = [“dummyAMoveLeft”, “dummyAMoveMidd”, “dummyAMoveRight”, “dummyAMoveRightA”, “dummyAMoveRightB”, “dummyAMoveRightC”];  
////  
//the Functions:  
dummyAMoveLeft = function () {  
number = 0;  
trace(number);  
pageNum.txto.text = “PAGE 1”;  
dummAOutside.onEnterFrame = function() {  
new mx.transitions.Tween(this, “\_x”, mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, this.\_x, 342.0, 30);  
delete this.onEnterFrame;  
};  
};  
dummyAMoveMidd = function () {  
number = 1;  
trace(number);  
pageNum.txto.text = “PAGE 2”;  
dummAOutside.onEnterFrame = function() {  
new mx.transitions.Tween(this, “\_x”, mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, this.\_x, -36.0, 30);  
delete this.onEnterFrame;
