</div>

the below code works:  
var buttonArray:Array = new Array (button1, button2, button3, button4, button5);  
for (var i = 0; i \< buttonArray.length; i++) {  
buttonArray\*.onRelease = function () {  
this.\_x += 5;  
};  
}  
but this doesn’t:  
var buttonArray:Array = new Array (button1, button2, button3, button4, button5);  
for (var i = 0; i \< buttonArray.length; i++) {  
buttonArray\*.onRelease = function () {  
this.onEnterFrame=function(){  
this.\_x += 5;  
}  
};  
}

Why won’t the onEnterFrame work?
