```auto
function doReset(){
	nav_array=new Array("test_mov.one_btn", "test_mov.two_btn", "test_mov.three_btn", "test_mov.four_btn", "test_mov.five_btn", "test_mov.six_btn", "test_mov.seven_btn", "test_mov.eight_btn");
	var T = resetNum;
	var RESET:String= nav_array[T];
	nav_array[T].gotoAndPlay("normal");
	nav_array[T].enabled=true;
	trace("reset me = "+RESET);
}

```

it traces the correct info! it’s driving me nuts!

I’ve used this same method in a different project and it worked fine. The paths are correct. The only thing I did differently in the other project was removed the quotation marks in the array. I have tried that in this project with no effect.

I’m banging my head on the wall.

thanks for any help!
