Can anyone see why this Loop does’nt work.

for (i=1; i\<25; i++) {  
tellTarget (\_root[“FaultRateChart.frBar#”+i]) {  
gotoAndStop (eval(\_root[“sRate”+i])+1);  
}  
}

But this one does.  
a = 1;

while (Number(a)\<25) {  
tellTarget (“frBar#” add a) {  
gotoAndStop (eval("\_root.sRate" add …/:a)+1);  
}  
a = Number(a)+1;  
}

Maybe try

for (var i = 1; i\<25; i++) {  
with (eval("\_root.FaultRateChart.frBar#".concat(i))) {  
gotoAndStop(eval("\_root.sRate".concat(i))+1);  
}  
}

try

```auto
for (i=1; i<25; i++) {
_root["FaultRateChart.frBar#"+i].gotoAndStop._root["sRate"+i+1]
}

```

not sure if this works for Flash 5 though :-\
