I wouldnt recommend using numbers as an instance name, here is a method to
get the required number from the end of a string:
On (release){
_root.textUpdate("bar1");
}
On (release){
_root.textUpdate("bar11");
}
function textUpdate(bar){
if(bar.length=5){
foo=bar.length-2;
}else if(bar.length=4){
foo=bar.length-1;
}
_root.myTextField="button "+foo+" was pressed";
}
So basically in your function, if the value of bar is equal to 5 chars it
will get the required 2 digit number, if its equal to 4 chars it will get
the required 1 digit number.
