Question

I have this code that activates when rollover, rollout, and release. I functions for rollover and rollout works, but the release function does not. I’m trying to pass some strings with url’s to the function within a loop.

var url1:String = 'http://www.google.com'; var url2:String = 'http://www.google.com'; var url3:String = 'http://www.google.com'; var url4:String = 'http://www.google.com'; var url5:String = 'http://www.google.com'; var url6:String = 'http://www.google.com'; var url7:String = 'http://www.google.com'; var url8:String = 'http://www.google.com'; var url9:String = 'http://www.google.com'; var url10:String = 'http://www.google.com'; var url11:String = 'http://www.google.com'; var url12:String = 'http://www.google.com';   function SetMouseAction(buttonMC, arrowMC, dynamicTF, linkURL):Void {     trace(linkURL);     buttonMC.colorText = dynamicTF;     buttonMC.onRollOver = function() {         TweenLite.to(arrowMC,0.5,{_x:'2', _alpha:50, ease:Back.easeOut});         this.colorText.textColor = 0x7cb0b7;     };     buttonMC.onRollOut = function() {         TweenLite.to(arrowMC,0.5,{_x:37, _alpha:100, ease:Back.easeOut});         this.colorText.textColor = 0xffffff;     };     buttonMC.onRelease = function() {         if (linkURL) {             getURL(linkURL);         }     }; }  for (var i:Number = 1; i<=12; i++) {     SetMouseAction(this['link'+i],this['arrow'+i],this['text'+i],url+1); } 

I have a strong feeling that the url+1 in the for loop is wrong, but I don’t know how to do it.

Any thoughts?

var urls:Array = new Array(); urls.push('http://link1'); ... urls.push('http://link12');  function SetMouseAction(buttonMC, arrowMC, dynamicTF, linkURL):Void { ... }  for (var i:Number = 1; i<=12; i++) {     SetMouseAction(this['link'+i],this['arrow'+i],this['text'+i],urls[i]); } 

Make sure that the Array urls has at least 12 elements, or else you will get an index out of bounds error.

later edit: if you need to extract the urls from flashvars, just use a separator like ‘,’ and define a string with all your urls, like so: urlVars=url1,url2,url3,...,url12

Then in order to extract the urls and push them intor the array, you use the split function:

var urls:Array = new Array(); for (var i=0; i<urlVars.split(',').length; i++) urls.push(urlVars.split(',')[i]);
