I would like the loop to create the multiple setInterval’s based off the array, but the function called is not clearing the setInterval…

Anyone?

var timecode = new Array(1, 2, 3, 4);

// use the array to assign the interval  
for (var i = 0; i\<timecode.length; i++) {  
timer\* = setInterval(myCuePoint, ((timecode\*)_1000), i);  
trace(timecode_);  
}

// The function called from the setInterval  
function myCuePoint(i) {  
clearInterval(timer\*);  
trace(“test”+i)  
}
