trying to attach functions to as created buttons

[cF516]

hey everyone
im trying to create a series of buttons that will take the user to a link, each link different (obv.). i dont know how many buttons im going to have because im taking in an xml file and from there determining the number of buttons ill need but i need the buttons to go to their own sites. i cant get the buttons to remember where they have to go, they just get stuck on the last 1 through the loop.

for (var i=0; i<linkCounter; i++) {
var newPictureButton:pictureButton = new pictureButton();
this.addChild(newPictureButton);

newPictureButton.x=Math.random()*100;
newPictureButton.y=Math.random()*50;
newPictureButton.mcText.text=i+1;
newPictureButton.name="newPictureButton"+i;
newPictureButton.value = i;

trace(newPictureButton.value = i);

buttons[i]=newPictureButton;

this.buttons[i].link.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(e:Event) {clickedButton(buttons[i]);});
}


function clickedButton(number) {
trace(linkArray[number]);
var request:URLRequest=new URLRequest('http://'+linkArray[number]);
navigateToURL(request);
}


any ideas?
thanks
