Consolidation of ActionScript [F8]&[F9]

[jaegow]

have been running into the same problem multiple times and I know there is an easier way to do this.. any ideas out there?

here would be an example of some code:

btn1.onPress = function(){
    do the same thing;
    }
btn2.onPress = function(){
    do the same thing;
    }
btn3.onPress = function(){
    do the same thing;
    }
btn4.onPress = function(){
    do the same thing;
    }

some ideas...

maybe a loop..
this won't work by the way

for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
var mc : MovieClip = "btn"+i;
mc.onPress.function=(){
do the same thing;
}
} 

maybe an array
this also won't work

var mc:Array = ["btn1","btn2","btn3","btn4"];
mc.onPress.function=(){
do the same thing;
}
