next frame movieclips

Question

HeyI am creating several buttons using a for loop - about 100 buttons.for (var i: int = 0, total: int = xmlLengde; i < total; i++) {bgmList.push(myXML..Song.songURL)button1 = new Favorite();button1.name = "favorite" + i;button1.mouseChildren = false;button1.y = button.y + (button.height - button1.height) / 2;button1.x = button.x + button.width - 10 + button1.width / 2;container1.addChild(button1);}I have an array like this:// this is traced - FavoritterID:       5,6,1,2,13,88,73.All the buttons are movieclips that has 2 frames. What I want to do now is make favorite5, favorite6, favorite1 and so forth go to next frame.I have tried this and a few other things. Doesnt seem to work. for(var ii: int =0, ii<FavoritterID.length; ii++){button1.nextFrame();favorite+i.nextFrame();}thanks

I thought I might had to use punctation when refering to a movieclip inside a container. As is common when I for instance create a eventlistener

container1.favorite22.addEventListener(...

oops, you don't have any objects with reference favorite0, favorite1 etc. those are all name properties. ie, use

for(var p: int =0; p<FavoritterID.length; p++){

MovieClip(container1.getChildByName('favorite'+p)).nextFrame();

}

use array notation to coerce strings to objects:

user
for (var i: int = 0, total: int = xmlLengde; i < total; i++) {
bgmList.push(myXML..Song.songURL)
button1 = new Favorite();
button1.name = "favorite" + i;
button1.mouseChildren = false;
button1.y = button.y + (button.height - button1.height) / 2;
button1.x = button.x + button.width - 10 + button1.width / 2;
container1.addChild(button1);
}
for(var ii: int =0; ii<FavoritterID.length; ii++){
this['favorite'+ii].nextFrame();
}
