Help me optimize my code

[jrutter]

I know there must be an easier way to write this code using loops/arrays, but I can seem to get it working with AS3. I have been writing in AS3 for under 3 days, I just made the switch from AS2.0. Can someone help me! I would consider paying someone to explain it to me over the phone!

here is my code:

// variables
var popInfo:popMc;


// load xml
var xml:XML = new XML();
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("data/cities.xml"));
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
    function(evt:Event):void {
        xml = XML(evt.target.data);
        //trace(xml.city[0][email protected]());
        var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest(xml.city[0][email protected]()); 

    }
);

// event listeners
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickStageRemove);

carBtn0.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickLoadData);
carBtn0.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onCarHover);
carBtn0.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onCarOut);

carBtn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickLoadData);
carBtn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onCarHover);
carBtn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onCarOut);

carBtn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickLoadData);
carBtn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onCarHover);
carBtn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onCarOut);

carBtn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickLoadData);
carBtn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onCarHover);
carBtn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onCarOut);

carBtn0.buttonMode = true;
carBtn1.buttonMode = true;
carBtn2.buttonMode = true;
carBtn3.buttonMode = true;


// functions
function onCarHover(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    if(event.target == carBtn0)
    {
    carBtn0.gotoAndPlay(10);
    }
    else if(event.target == carBtn1)
    {
    carBtn1.gotoAndPlay(10);
    }
    else if(event.target == carBtn2)

    }

    }
    
}
