61 dynamic button onclicks

[patawic]

Its probably an easy solution. But i have 61 buttons being generated for a level selection screen for a game i am making. and i need an onclick function for each of the buttons.

I would much prefer it if i didn't have to write a separate function for each of the 61 buttons and would prefer to do it in a loop or something. but every time i place it in a loop, i just get undefined outputs.


My current loop is this

			
for (var i = 1; i < onscreen.length; i++)
{
	trace(levels[onscreen[i]]);
	levels[onscreen[i]].onRelease = function():Void 
	{
		trace(i);
		loadTrack(onscreen[i]);
	};
}

The onscreen array contains names of every one of the buttons. and has a length of 62 (number 1 is the main template screen, not a button hence why the loop starts at 1, not 0). But for some reason, every button i click on
returns a value of 62.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

in basic terms. Im trying to rewrite this, to be in a neat function.
