Hi all happy flash coder people

I am really hoping someone can help me with this

What i want to do is assign actions to each individual movieclip using a for loop… let me explain

Say i have 5 MovieClips on the stage… With instance names clip1, clip2, clip3…

Now what i want to do is assign a OnRollOver and OnRelease to each 1  
So individual code for each would be something like this.

\_root.Clip1.OnRollOver = function()  
{  
\_root.Clip1.gotoAndPlay(2);  
trace(“clip1 clicked”)  
}  
\_root.Clip2.OnRollOver = function()  
{  
\_root.Clip2.gotoAndPlay(2);  
trace(“clip2 clicked”)  
}

now instead of copy pasting this over and over again for however many clips i have i wanted to put it in a for loop like so

for(i=1; i\<6; i++)  
{  
\_root[“Clip” + i].OnRollOver = function()  
{  
\_root[“Clip” + i].gotoAndPlay(2);  
trace(“Clip” + i + “clicked”)  
}  
}

the problem is this does not work… and all the trace statements just say clip4 clicked

how do i solve this problem, what am i doing wrong?

Please if anyone can help i would appreciate it so much

Thanks  
Brad
