Issues with referencing objects after adding to stage through an array

Dizquard · September 8, 2009, 10:44am

Hi all,

In short: It’s a virtual fair designed in “2D” where each “stand” is loaded in through an XML document. A Box Class draws and place the objects (stands) onto the stage, and a BoxesInfo class has the purpose of generating a description from the XML document about each stand.

Here’s my problem: I wish to add an MouseOVER eventListener to each object on stage, calling the BoxesInfo. But I cant seem to get the referencing right.

Here’s my document class Messe.as
