[F8] Quicker way to write these button actions

[amblique]

Hi there,

I have 30 buttons, that i need to code all the same, except for changing the number.

I'm sure you can do this by using arrays or something.

so my array would look like:

var buttons = "1","2","3"...."29","30"; 

And the buttons i'm trying to create would look like:

button1.onRelease = function (){
        button1.gotoAndStop("selected");
}
button2.onRelease = function (){
        button2.gotoAndStop("selected");
}
button3.onRelease = function (){
        button3.gotoAndStop("selected");
} 

But i want to achieve this in 2 lines, something like this

['button' + [buttonVariable]].onRelease = function(){
       ['button' + [buttonVariable]].gotoAndStop("selected");
} 

Can anyone help?
