Hello all. I need a liitle help with tageting a child. I’m attaching an array of boxes from the library to the stage with a ticker interval. I want each box to do something (like go to frame 2) each time the ticker fires. How do I implement this?

Thanks.

Here is the code:

var i:int;  
var ID:int;  
var titleList:int;  
titleList=11;  
var tickerIndex=0;  
var tickerInterval:uint;  
records = new Array();

var box:MovieClip;

for (i=0; i \< titleList; i++) {  
box = new redBox ();  
box.x=i\*100;  
box.y=150;  
box.ID=i;  
box.name=“box\_”+i;  
records.push(box.ID);  
}

tickerInterval=setInterval(updateTicker,2000);  
updateTicker();

function updateTicker():void {  
var headline:String=records[tickerIndex];  
a.text=headline;  
///box.id do something  
if (++tickerIndex==titleList) {  
tickerIndex=0;  
}  
}
