Dynamicaly create onRelease event

Question

Hello,
I got a problem with dynamicaly assigning the onRelease event on my buttons.
I got about 45 buttons and I don't want to create 300 lines of code just to create each of the onRelease events on them so I thought about using a loop (for) to pass through them and assigning the onRelease event. This is what I got and thought would work:
for (var s = 1; s <= _global.NB_SECTIONS; s++) // NB_SECTIONS = 42
    this["btnSalle" + s].onRelease = function(){
        trace(s); // Returns 43
        _global.CURRENT_SECTION = s;
        _root.gotoAndStop("salle");
Unfortunately, it does go to "salle" (which is a frame), but the CURRENT_SECTION variable is always set to 43! I can't understand why it would give me 43 on any of the section buttons I click (which ranges from 1 to 42). Any idea how I could make this work? I don't like having too much codes in my Flash (I've been using a hell load of loops to make it cleaner).
Thanks!

The value of s is not assigned to the buttons, variable is coded into the functions and the function use the value of s at its current value when clicked, not when you assign it in the function.
If those are button symbols, then you can use their _name(s) to determine the value you are looking for since the _name(s) carry the value you want...
for (var s = 1; s <= _global.NB_SECTIONS; s++) // NB_SECTIONS = 42
    this["btnSalle" + s].onRelease = function(){
        trace(String(this._name).substr(8));
        _global.CURRENT_SECTION =  Number(String(this._name).substr(8));
        _root.gotoAndStop("salle");
If they are movieclips used as buttons, then you could assign the s value to a variable ofeach movieclip and use that variable in the functions.
