Hello,

Here is my quick question :cantlook:

for (i=1; i\<=5; i++)  
{  
this[“mcName”+i].mcArea.onRollOver = function(){  
trace(this[“mcName”+i].mcOther);  
}  
}

How can I get variable “i” to my onRollOver function ? In this example, flash exporting to output panel “undefined” results.

Thanks
