Hey all,

My problem is this: I have a flash file in which I'm adding MovieClips dynamically as buttons using a for loop. With each iteration I add a new button, give it a name and add an event listener. My question is, with this method, how do I know which button was clicked? In other words, say my for loop executes 5 times, adding 5 different buttons at 5 different locations on the stage. Is there anyway from within the code to determine which button was pressed? I feel like there should be a simple way to figure it out and I'm just missing it.

The code looks like this:

for (var aCount:String in pNameArray){

this["btn" + m1Count] = new buttonMC();

this["btn" + m1Count].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, select);
this["btn" + m1Count].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, leave);
this["btn" + m1Count].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goTo);
this["btn" + m1Count].buttonMode = true;
this["btn" + m1Count].name = "btn" + m1Count;

addChild(this["btn" + m1Count]);
}

Any tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
