looping through an Array to change visibility of MC

Question

Hey to anyone , lets say i have a for() loop that creates an instance of a movieClip newText, which contains textfields inside that get pushed through an Array, and are displayed again by the array when my app is reinitiated.

and in newText i also have a button inside that deletes the information(options), and when that button is pressed another MC(delete) pops up over newText.

What is my best approach to check if this button has been pressed? should i create another Array that passes "true" to the Array, and check if ( arrayCheck["???"] == true) { what do i do here};...etc i'm lost.

because i want to make MC(delete) visibility = true; when the app is reinitiated for the instances of newText, when (options) button has been clicked; any ideas would be highly appreciated????

BELOW IS MY FOR LOOP I HAVE ALREADY

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

var kellog: Number = -5;

//this variable sets in Array index at 1

var general: Number = -1;

for (var i: Number = 0; i < mySaveNewT.data.myNText; ++i) {

newText = new tbox();

newText.x = -220;

newText.y = -513 + i * 69 + 0 * 3.8;

kellog += 6; // this places each array index at the correct textfield in newText

kellogs += 6; // this places each array index at the correct textfield in newText

trace(kellogs, " total cereal");

newText.CN.text = String(unwrap.mySaveData.data.myDataArray[kellog]);

newText.DF.text = String(unwrap.mySaveData.data.myDataArray[2 + kellog + general]);

newText.Ad.text = String(unwrap.mySaveData.data.myDataArray[3 + kellog + general]);

newText.PN.text = String(unwrap.mySaveData.data.myDataArray[4 + kellog + general]);

newText.tap.text = String(unwrap.mySaveData.data.mynText[kellogs]);

newText.tip.text = String(unwrap.mySaveData.data.mynText[kellogs + generals]);

newText.OT.text = String(unwrap.mySaveData.data.myDataArray[5 + kellog + general]);

VWD.addChild(newText);

myDataArrayInProgram = unwrap.mySaveData.data.myDataArray;

myNTextAddition = unwrap.mySaveData.data.mynText;

}

its the btnthen why are you assigning it to i?again, use the code i suggested but change btn to options (if that's really your buttons name).var so:SharedObject=SharedObject.getLocal("kellogs","/");if(so.data.btnClickA && so.data.btnClickA.length>0){for(var i:int=0;i<so.data.btnClickA.length;i++){trace('button',so.data.btnClickA,'was clicked')}} else {so.data.btnClickA=[];} for (var i: Number = 0; i < mySaveNewT.data.myNText; ++i) { newText = new tbox(); newText.x = -220;newText.options.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttonF); newText.ivar=i;.}function buttonF(e:MouseEvent):void{var i:int=MovieClip(e.currentTarget.parent).ivar;if(so.data.btnClickA.indexOf(i)==-1){so.data.btnClickA.push(i);}}

your button should have an instance name. assign listeners to each one in your for-loop.eg, if tbox extends a MovieClip and your button is btn: for (var i: Number = 0; i < mySaveNewT.data.myNText; ++i) { newText = new tbox(); newText.x = -220;newText.btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttonF);..}function buttonF(e:MouseEvent):void{trace(MovieClip(e.currentTarget.parent).CN.text);}
