Hi All,

Simple question here. This function works fine up until it hits the else statement. As soon as I uncomment the line to set the mc’s to blue after the else it errors out. The gray works fine as long as the else is commented out. What gives?

```auto
function colorStates():void {
 for (var i:Number = 0; i<myArray.length; i++) {
  if (myArray*[2] == "NA") {
   trace("Gray States");
   a.color = (0x999999);
   this[myArray*[1]].transform.colorTransform = a;
  } else {
   trace("Blue States");
   a.color = (0x0062bb);
   //this[myArray*[1]].transform.colorTransform = a;
  }
 }
}

```
