Hi, I’m beginning to look at using Arrays for menus as they are cleaner.

Arrays are new to me, and I have problems getting them to work.

Currently I’m doing something like this.

menu1.onRollOver = function() {  
menu1.gotoAndStop(“Selected”);  
};  
menu1.onRollOut = function() {  
menu1.gotoAndStop(“Normal”);  
};  
menu1.onRelease = function() {  
do something;  
};

This is the code I’ve tried and it doesn’t work.

var mainMenu:Array = [“menu1”,“menu2”,“menu3”,“menu4”];  
for (i = 0; i \< mainMenu.length; i++) {  
mainMenu\*.onRollOver = function() {  
mainMenu\*.gotoAndStop(“Selected”);  
}  
};

Somebody advise me on how I should get it working?
