switch (e.target.name)
{
case “btn1″:
// something1
return;
case “btn2″:
// something2
return;
}

Code:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goto1)
btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goto2)
btn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goto3)
btn4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goto4)
btn5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goto5)
different buttons have different functions, so how can i add the functions by looping them?

like….
for (var i:uint = 0; i < 5; i++)
this["btn"+i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, doSomethingDifferent)

how doSomethingDifferent can be manipulated just like the this["btn"+i], unfortunatlly i cant…it throws error(s)

thanks in advance.

At:
bams2[i] = new MovieMaterial(getChildByName(“face”+i));
bams2[i].smooth = true;
bams[i].interactive = true;

The last line is missing a ‘2′, it should be
bams2[i].interactive = true;

Also worth noteing, it seems there are a lot out there interested in sending parameters to functions when adding Listeners. Some have created separate classes to do this, but I came across this, which works fine:

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(evt:MouseEvent){myfunction(evt,”hello world”)},false , 0 , false);

function myfunction(e:MouseEvent, msg:String):void
{
trace(msg);
}

traces “Hello World”

Hope that helps someone.

I decided to remove the parameters though and simply give the movie clip the properties instead, which the function accesses using ‘target.propertyname’. K, so this is a bit intertwined with papervision3D (It displays 3 planes, which flip when you clip them):

//imports

var viewport:Viewport3D = new Viewport3D(0, 0, true, true, true, true);
addChild(viewport);
viewport.buttonMode = true;

var renderer:BasicRenderEngine = new BasicRenderEngine();

var scene:Scene3D = new Scene3D();

var camera:Camera3D = new Camera3D();
camera.zoom = 11;
camera.focus = 100;

//positioning of planes
var xpos:Number = 0;
var ypos:Number = 0;

var planesf1:Array = new Array(); //front side of plane
var planesf2:Array = new Array(); //backside of each plane
var bams:Array = new Array(); //font side material
var bams2:Array = new Array(); // back side material

for(var i:uint = 1;i<=3;i++)
{
bams[i] = new MovieMaterial(getChildByName(“faceb”+i));
bams[i].interactive = true;
bams[i].smooth = true;

bams2[i] = new MovieMaterial(getChildByName(“face”+i));
bams2[i].smooth = true;
bams[i].interactive = true;

this["faceb"+i].num = i; //property added to movieclip instad of sending parameters
this["face"+i].num = i;

this["faceb"+i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, cardClick); // this listener works fine

this["face"+i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, cardClick2); //this listener doesn’t seem to get written ??

planesf1[i] = new Plane(bams[i], 237 , 149 , xpos , ypos);
planesf1[i].y = ypos;
planesf1[i].z = 1;

planesf2[i] = new Plane(bams2[i], 237 , 149 , xpos , ypos);
planesf2[i].y = ypos;
planesf2[i].rotationX = 180;
planesf2[i].z = 0;

scene.addChild(planesf1[i]);
scene.addChild(planesf2[i]);
ypos = ypos + 159;
}

renderer.renderScene(scene , camera , viewport);

function cardClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var i:Number = e.target.num;
var rot:Number = planesf1[i].rotationY + 180;
Tweener.addTween(planesf1[i], { time:2, transition:’easeinoutback’, rotationY: rot } );
var rot2:Number = planesf2[i].rotationY + 180;
Tweener.addTween(planesf2[i], { time:2, transition:’easeinoutback’, rotationY: rot2 } );

}

function cardClick2(e:MouseEvent):void
{
trace(e.target.num);
var j:Number = e.target.num;
var rot3:Number = planesf1[j].rotationY + 180;
Tweener.addTween(planesf1[j], { time:2, transition:’easeinoutback’, rotationY: rot3 } );
var rot4:Number = planesf2[j].rotationY + 180;
Tweener.addTween(planesf2[j], { time:2, transition:’easeinoutback’, rotationY: rot4 } );

}

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop);

function loop(e:Event):void
{
renderer.renderScene(scene, camera, viewport);
}
