Can you assign functions as part of a loop?

I am not sure even how to search on this one so after a fruitless effort I'll just post it...

I have an array of items. I want to run through the array using 'for (i=0, i < array.length, i++)' . Now on each time I want to say something like...

this["bt"+toolsArray[i]].onRollOver = function(){
if ("bt"+toolsArray[i]._x == 13){
	this["bt"+toolsArray[i]].toolTab._visible = true;
	this["bt"+toolsArray[i]]._alpha = 50;
	}
}
this["bt"+toolsArray[i]].onRollOut = function (){
if (this["bt"+toolsArray[i]]._x ==13) {
	this["bt"+toolsArray[i]].toolTab._visible = false;
	}
}

But I am not getting any results at all. I am attempting to build a product that produces all my buttons and actions with some generic code instead of writting a button for each item in the array. The intention is to make this tool easier for others to update in the future.

Never mind....duh.

Ok...I was making the wrong reference. It seems you have to do it like this...

this["bt"+toolsArray[i]].onRollOver = function(){
if (this._x == 13){
    this.toolTab._visible = true;
    this._alpha = 50;
    }
}

Well maybe my public humiliation will help someone else someday.

<sigh>

Fed, dont worry about it, i was working on something similar a while back and couldnt figure it out.

FYI, each name must be in [] so if you are doing something like (and this is a big like, i did it once 3 months ago)

toys.redCat4.bgColor="red"
toys[strColor+strAnimal+intNum]bgColor="red"

Without Tek-Tips I would go Codal
