Adding a listener to an array?

[Halosheep]

How do you do it? I know you can add an Event Listener to a specific object like so

objectName.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function);

But if I try to do it for an array like so

var sampleArray:Array = new Array;
sampleArray.push(objectName);

sampleArray.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function);

I get an error

TypeError: Error #1006: addEventListener is not a function.
	at Selection_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide

Apply the listener to an item of the array, not the array itself.

The point was that I need it to be applied to all the objects in the array. For some reason, you made me think of a very roundabout way of doing this, by making another function with a loop in it which cycles through the array and adds the listener, ect, but I was wondering if there was a more simple and direct way of doing it.

A loop is practically just one more line of code :)

Not efficient enough lol
Kidding, but I was curious if it was possible anyways. I have it working now, but thanks for the reponses

It's probably not a good idea to have one enter frame for each object.
You rather want to have one enter frame that iterates over the objects.

However, that's probably something to be considered "useless information nobody cares about" as I know this forum...

It's faster, and more predictable. Good enough for me.
