Hi

I have a series of movie clip instances that have dynamically loaded graphics in them. I want to use them as buttons. The movie clip instances are stored in an array, and created dynamically.

According my limited, and probably erroneous, knowledge, all I know can do is use buttonmode, create an several event listeners for each button, and loads of functions. It’s so bad!

Please, how can I do this simply and efficiently? I have pasted this code below to try to show how I’m thinking…

for (var k:int=0; k\<4; k++)  
{  
movieClip[k].buttonMode = true  
movieClip[k].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_OVER, bright)  
movieClip[k].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_OUT, dull)  
movieClip[k].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_OVER, select)  
}
