actionscript dynamic variable name in loop 1

[ericaalicen]

I'm having an issue looping through and accessing variable names dynamically in actionscript.

This code to call one directly works.

	mcSquares.square1.onRollOver = function(): Void {
		mcSquares.square1._visible = false;
	};

When I put the code in the loop and try to make it work for square1-square5, it doesn't work.

var nSquares:Number = 6;

for(var i:Number = 1; i < nSquares; i++)
{
	trace(mcSquares.square[i]);
	mcSquares.square[i].onRollOver = function(): Void {
		mcSquares.square[i]._visible = false;
	};
}

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

For anyone interested, this the working code:

var nSquares:Number = 6;

for(var i:Number = 1; i <= nSquares; i++)
{
	trace(mcSquares["square"+i]);
	mcSquares["square"+i].ID = i;
	mcSquares["square"+i].onRollOver = function(): Void {
		mcSquares["square"+this.ID]._visible = false;
	};
}

Thanks oldnewbie.
