Simple question about arrays

[chimerastudios]

var buttonList:Array = new Array('button1', 'button2');
trace(buttonList);
buttonList.buttonMode = true




How do I declare this so that all my buttons are actually true??
When I trace the list I get the result I'm expecting but I want the final result to be:
button1.buttonMode = true
button2.buttonMode = true

s'not working as it is.
:-(

for each(var b:String in buttonList) this[b].buttonMode = true;

Or you can be even more efficient by using an Array of objects, instead of an Array of Strings:

var buttonList:Array = new Array(button1, button2);
for each(var b:Sprite in buttonList) b.buttonMode = true;
