copied!<p>Using the more functional style forEach method on the Array class avoids this problem. This has been mentioned already but I'll expand on it here.</p> <pre><code>imageList.forEach( function ( item:MovieClip, index:int, list:Array) { // add your listener with closure here }) </code></pre> <p>Using this method, the function passed into the forEach defines a new scope each iteration. now you can add a closure inside this scope and it will remember each instance as you want.</p> <p>On a related note:</p> <p>Typing those 3 arguments the whole time is a pain so... You can also make that less / more ugly with an adaptor function:</p> <pre><code>// just give me the item please imageList.forEach ( itrAdpt( function ( image: ImageData ) { // add your listener with closure here })) // give me the item and it's index imageList.forEach ( itrAdpt( function ( image: ImageData, index:int ) { // add your listener with closure here })) // give me the item, index and total list length imageList.forEach ( itrAdpt( function ( image: ImageData, index:int, length:int ) { // add your listener with closure here })) </code></pre> <p>where itrAdpt is a (possibly global) function defined something like:</p> <pre><code>public function itrAdpt(f: Function): Function { var argAmount:int = f.length if (argAmount == 0) { return function (element:*, index:int, colection:*):* { return f(element) } } else if (argAmount == 1) { return function (element:*, index:int, colection:*):* { return f(element) } } else if (argAmount == 2) { return function (element:*, index:int, colection:*):* { return f(element, index) } } else if (argAmount == 3) { return function (element:*, index:int, colection:*):* { return f(element, index, colection.length) } } else { throw new Error("Don't know what to do with "+argAmount+"arguments. Supplied function should have between 1-3 arguments") } } </code></pre>
