for (k=0; k

Question

There are 6 buttons and If this code is the only code in the fla why isn't the trace showing results? How can I make trace (fontN) show which button I clicked??

var fontN:Array = [Tx_btn1, Tx_btn2, Tx_btn3, Tx_btn4, Tx_btn5, Tx_btn6]; //buttons

var fontF:Array = [format1, format2, format3, format4, format5, format6];

for (k=0; k<fontN.length; k++){

fontN.ivar=k;

fontN.onRelease = function() {

trace (fontN) // it allways shows '_level0.Tx_btn6'

my_txt.setNewTextFormat(fontF[this.ivar]);

trace (fontF[this.ivar]) // 'undefined'

}

(i changed ivar to kvar. it's just a variable name but i like to use something suggestive: namely the kvar and k variable are related. because i use i in most of my for-loops, most of my code uses ivar.)

anyway:

var fontN:Array = [Tx_btn1, Tx_btn2, Tx_btn3, Tx_btn4, Tx_btn5, Tx_btn6]; //buttons
var fontF:Array = [format1, format2, format3, format4, format5, format6];
for (k=0; k<fontN.length; k++){
fontN.kvar=k; // if you're using simple buttons, this won't work. use movieclip buttons.
fontN.onRelease = function() {
trace (fontN[this.kvar]) // k will be the last value in your for-loop because you're clicking after the for-loop completes
my_txt.setNewTextFormat(fontF[this.kvar]);
trace (fontF[this.kvar]) // 'undefined' if format1, etc undefined
}
}
