Alrighty here is my code:

```auto
function setButtons() {
	trace (_root["questionArray"+questionNum][0]);
	for (i=0; i<=_root["questionArray"+questionNum].length; i++) {
		trace (_root["questionArray"+questionNum]*);
		_root["questionArray"+questionNum]*.gotoAndStop(2);
	}
}
setButtons();

```

so when I trace (\_root[“questionArray”+questionNum][0]); it comes out as radio1 however the second trace (\_root[“questionArray”+questionNum]\*); is undefined. Why?
