AS2 Dynamic graph

Question

Hi
I want to create a set of buttons with assigned values, that after adding one to another, passes the value to graphsbar width.
here is somewhat ilustrated example of the structure

In a practical way, the groupA could be different processor types, groupB; graphic cards and groupC; motherboards.
every button has 3 values that refers to: Velocity, Performance, Power usage (for example).
adding the value1 from groupA.ButtonA1, the value1 from groupB.ButtonB1 and so on... would give us a total width of the bar1
what would be the function to make this possible?
so far I'm using the TweenLite engine to do the tweening, and the code for 1 group is like this :
function group1(graph, value1, value2, value3)
TweenLite.to(graph.bar1, .5, {_height:value1});  
TweenLite.to(graph.bar2, .5, {_height:value2});  
TweenLite.to(graph.bar3, .5, {_height:value3});  
buttonA1.onRelease = function(){
   group1(performancegraph, 80, 90, 30);
buttonA2.onRelease = function(){
   group1(performancegraph, 45, 20, 5);
this only alters the initial values of the graph, how to construct all the rest?
I was thinking on adding a variable like
var Bar1TotalWidth:Number = group1.value1+group2.value1;
and put the Bar1TotalWidth into the _height:value1 but I'm totally lost now.
I'd appreciate help.

Answer 1

then you'll need to use non-local variables:
var bar1var1:Number=40;
var bar1var2:Number=10;
var bar1var3:Number=15;
etc
function barF():Void{
bar1._width=bar1var1+bar1var2+bar1var3;
bar2._width=bar2var1+bar2var2+bar2var3;
bar3._width=bar3var1+bar3ar2+bar3var3;
button1.onRelease=function(){
bar1var1=10;
bar2var1=100;
bar3var1=20;
barF();
etc
