as3 change all button colors

Question

I am trying to replace the color of all buttons called 'myButtons' using this code:

        colorTransform.color = 0xaf4b44;
        myButtons.transform.colorTransform = colorTransform;

but only the most recently created button is changing color, and not all of them. They are all called myButtons. Is there another way to do this?

Answer 1

If all the buttons have the same parent you can use the following code. I would advise you to use different name for each button though.

var colorTransform:ColorTransform=new ColorTransform;
colorTransform.color = 0xaf4b44;

var mc:MovieClip=new MovieClip;
mc=root["myButtons"].parent;

for(var i:int=0; i<mc.numChildren; i++){
    if(mc.getChildAt(i).name=="myButtons"){
        mc.getChildAt(i).transform.colorTransform = colorTransform;
    }
}
