Hi there,

I’m attempting to allow \*\*only \*\*the buttons that are in my array work during MOUSE\_OVER.

The tricky thing for me is identifieing more than one button in the same _if statement_. Does the onButtonOver function need to be in a _ **for loop** _?

Appologies if this is a noobie question.

```auto
var myArray=[3, 4];

for (var i:int = 0; i < buttonArray.length; i++) {
	this["btn"+i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onButtonOver);
	this["btn"+i].buttonMode=true;
	this["btn"+i].mouseChildren=false;
	this["btn"+i].button=i;
}

function onButtonOver(e:MouseEvent):void {
	if (e.currentTarget.button == this["btn"+myArray]) {
		trace ("Only button number 3 and 4 will work");
	}
}

```

Thank you all.

Mark
