Hi, this is a REAL basic one for you:

This is my script:

count = 0;

btn\_01.onRelease = function() {  
if (count\<=20 && this.\_currentframe == 1) {  
\_root.count += 1;  
this.gotoAndStop(2);  
trace(count);

```
} else {
    if (this._currentframe == 2) {
    _root.count -= 1;
    this.gotoAndStop(1);
    trace(count);

}
}

```

};  
Instead of applying it to just one button I want to apply it to many on the stage, how do i add the names of the buttons to the function? I tried separating with commas but no luck 😉
