i don't know what to call it .... so that explains the lame name of this thread but here's my question.
in windows if i want to find a file of a particular type i can search for *.jpg. '*' is the 'any' character in that instance.
what i'm curious about is say for instance i have a bunch of buttons on the screen that create mouse effects and i want the handCursor not to show when you mouseOver them to create the effects. so in the main frame's actionscript i put
buttonName.useHandCursor = false
but i don't want to redo that script for all the buttons so i name the buttons sequentially "button1 - button65" for instance is it possible to say something like:
button*.useHandCursor = false ..... again the '*' is what i'm using for the random character
or something like (button+"*").useHandCursor = false
thanks for your help =)
