Passing Array value in EventListener

[michaelt87073209]

Hi All, been at this for a while now and can't see the wood for the trees. Is there a way to pass a value through an EventListener so that the array referenced within the function changes value?

var i=int;

btn_US.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOverHandler,i=3);

function mouseOverHandler(e:MouseEvent, i):void {

txt_CountryName.text = country;

txt_GoverningBody.text = governingbody;

}

I simply can't see to pass the i value...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mike

From your description it sounds like you are attempting to use one function to work with a bunch of buttons to give you a unique result on each rollover. If that's correct then you may get the result that you want by using an array that contains the instance names of each of the rollover buttons. Then you can use the event target to give you the values from the other two arrays.

Something like this:

var buts:Array = new Array(but1,but2,but3);

var cName:Array = new Array("A","B","C");

var cBody:Array = new Array("D","E","F");

for(var i in buts) {

  buts.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOverHandler);

}

function mouseOverHandler(e:MouseEvent):void {

  var thisOne:int = buts.indexOf(e.target);

  txt_CountryName.text = country[thisOne];

  txt_GoverningBody.text = governingbody[thisOne];

}
