Advice? Hundreds of buttons...


Advice? Hundreds of buttons... chrishill27 NO[at]SPAM yahoo.com

flash actionscript:
I am creating a table of contents page in Flash MX 2004. Each entry in
the table of contents will load a different swf (chapter) when clicked.
I may need to create hundreds of these text buttons.

All I really want the "buttons" to do is change the text color on
mouseover and click. In the past, I typed out the chapter title,
converted the textbox to a button, changed the font color for the over
and down frames, etc. I did this for each button, which is now
impractical.

What would be the best way to handle this? A custom class? I am
relatively new to Actionscript but can learn what I need to know if
pointed in the right direction. Any advice is appreciated.

Why not create a button movie with dynamic text in it? I am still
wondering about the "hundreds of buttons" Do your users want all those
buttons? Isn't there a better way to do this?
