ok then… if anybody can help me with this, it’d be amazing…  
I’m using the standard for loop to make an xml menu, but having problems including a color tween… the relevant code exceprts:

```
 ActionScript Code:

    [COLOR=#000000] **var** [/COLOR] nodeinfo = basenode[COLOR=#000000][[/COLOR]i[COLOR=#000000]][/COLOR];

(I’m using [canadian’s custom colour class](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=223418&highlight=colour), by the way, but i’m pretty sure that’s not the problem)

When I run the thing, only the last menu item created responds to the code; I feel like I’m missing something obvious… then again, maybe not.  
Ideas?
