I have been using Flash and CS3 for years and am now trying to get into Animate CC coding using HTML5 Canvas.

I have a simple movie clips dropping from the top of the screen and wanting to hide (visible=false) on mouse over.

Use the following code to loop through an array of objects set up as

var myCoins = [this.coin1, this.coin2 etc....]

for (i = 0; i < 6; i++){
myObj=myCoins[i];
myCoins[i].addEventListener("mouseover", function () {
$myCoins[i].style.visability=hidden;
}//end function

)//end listener

}//end loop

Thank-you but this didn't work.

I tried the following code within my for loop instead of my code from above

this.myCoins.addEventListener("mouseover", fl_mouseover.bind(this));

function fl_mouseover(evt) {

this.myCoins[i].visible=false;
}

Error Message: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'addEventListener' of undefined

I am trying set the eventListener for mouseover on each object in my array.

I have been able work through the array to make the items appear in random positions and scroll down the screen.
