Hi there!

I have four buttons, with instances of:  
press\_mc  
design\_mc  
menemail\_mc  
general\_mc

When I click my map\_mc button - I want ALL four MC’s to have an alpha of 0.

But what I want to know is whether I can have a group name for these 4 MC’s.  
For eg: menubuttons

thus:

map\_mc.onRelease = function(){  
menubuttons.\_alpha = 0;  
}

How would I do this somehow???

This would be super handy.  
I know that I could include them all inside one movie clip… But I dont want to go about it that way …

Thanks!
