How can I change this code into an array?

Question

Any suggestions would be appreciated

tocProduction.alpha = 0;
tocWardrobe.alpha = 0;
tocMakeup.alpha = 0;
tocIllustrators.alpha = 0;
tocSpecialfx.alpha = 0;
tocAssisting.alpha = 0;
tocContact.alpha = 0;

tocProduction.x = 400;
tocWardrobe.x = 400;
tocMakeup.x = 400;
tocIllustrators.x = 400;
tocSpecialfx.x = 400;
tocAssisting.x = 400;
tocContact.x = 400;

TweenMax.to(tocProduction, .75, {alpha:1, ease:Circ.easeIn});
TweenMax.to(tocWardrobe, 1, {alpha:1, ease:Circ.easeIn});
TweenMax.to(tocMakeup, 1.25, {alpha:1, ease:Circ.easeIn});
TweenMax.to(tocIllustrators, 1.5, {alpha:1, ease:Circ.easeIn});
TweenMax.to(tocSpecialfx, 1.75, {alpha:1, ease:Circ.easeIn});
TweenMax.to(tocAssisting, 2, {alpha:1, ease:Circ.easeIn});
TweenMax.to(tocContact, 2.25, {alpha:1, ease:Circ.easeIn});

tocProduction.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, over);
tocWardrobe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, over1);
tocMakeup.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, over2);
tocIllustrators.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, over3);
tocSpecialfx.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, over4);
tocAssisting.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, over5);
tocContact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, over6);

function over(e:Event):void {
 tocProduction.gotoAndPlay("over");
}
function over1(e:Event):void {
 tocWardrobe.gotoAndPlay("over");
}
function over2(e:Event):void {
 tocMakeup.gotoAndPlay("over");
}
function over3(e:Event):void {
 tocIllustrators.gotoAndPlay("over");
}
function over4(e:Event):void {
 tocSpecialfx.gotoAndPlay("over");
}
function over5(e:Event):void {
 tocAssisting.gotoAndPlay("over");
}
function over6(e:Event):void {
 tocContact.gotoAndPlay("over");

}

Answer 1

Sure. Push them into an array, and then do something like:

for(var i in myArr) {
    var o = myArr[i];
    o.alpha=0;
    o.x = 400;
    TweenMax.to(o, 1, {alpha:1, easy:Circ.easeIn});
    o.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, function(e:Event) {e.target.gotoAndPlay("over");});
}

Answer 2

Use a base class that inherits from (what looks like) a MovieClip, set the constructor to do the common init and use variables for the dynamic parts (such as what looks like the tween duration).

Another thing you can do is merge the event listeners:

tocProduction.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overHandler);
tocWardrobe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overHandler);
tocMakeup.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overHandler);
tocIllustrators.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overHandler);
tocSpecialfx.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overHandler);
tocAssisting.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overHandler);
tocContact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overHandler);

function overHandler(event:Event):void {
 event.target.gotoAndPlay("over");
}
