Simple question:

Let’s say I have 10 or 100 or 1000 mc’s on stage that do exactly the same on an onRollOver event and on an onRollOut event, what’s the easiest way of writing this ?  
Just for clarity, let’s assume that the mc’s are called mc1 to mc100, could it be done with an array and/or for statement ?

Cause I’m used to old fashioned coding, I’m used not to try to cut corners 🙂 So it kind of restricts my thinking a bit at times.  
So, do I need to start with an onRollOver event handler for each button in order to make Flash notice the onRollOver event for each button ? (if you get my point).

Thanks for clearing this up! 🙂
