Thanks, can you help me understand how to make an array work?

I need to fade toggle a different country png for each country button and fade out the rest of the country images i.e.: when i click the UK button i need to fade toggle the UK png and fade out the other countries

when i click the USA button i need to fade toggle the USA ing and fade out the other countries and so on

sym.getSymbol("Countries").$("UK").fadeToggle();sym.getSymbol("Countries").$("USA","AUS","Hongkong","Switzerland","Ireland","Indias","Japa n","Netherlands","Spain").fadeOut();

sym.getSymbol("Countries").$("USA").fadeToggle();sym.getSymbol("Countries").$("UK","AUS","Hongkong","Switzerland","Ireland","Indias","Japan ","Netherlands","Spain").fadeOut();

but it doesn't seem to work how i have it and i have been told to do an array but I'm not sure how?

etc

can you help?

Hi,

Thanks for all your help, I don;t think Class would work as i would need different combinations of the buttons within a symbol.

I think I have worked it out, but if you see attached, for some reason my fadeOut command for the rest of the countries when each button is clicked fails to fadesOut the rest of the countries and only USA and UK seem to work? See attached:

Dropbox - Countries.zip

any ideas, it's driving me mad!

try this:

// insert code to be run when the composition is fully loaded here

var countries =

for (i=0;i<countries.length;i++){

sym.$(countries[i]).addClass('fade');

sym.$('.fade').fadeOut();

}

sym.$("UKstandardbuttons").fadeToggle();

sym.$("UKstandardbuttons").fadeToggle();

sym.$("AUSstandardbuttons").fadeOut();

sym.$("Hongkongstandardbuttons").fadeOut();

sym.$("Switzerlandstandardbuttons").fadeOut();

sym.$("Irelandstandardbuttons").fadeOut();

sym.$("Indiastandardbuttons").fadeOut();

sym.$("Japanstandardbuttons").fadeOut();

sym.$("Netherlandsstandardbuttons").fadeOut();

sym.$("Spainstandardbuttons").fadeOut();

into a var or class? so i don't have to list similar code for each element (UKstandardbutton)'s action

thanks!
