Holding Instances in an Array

programming flash
1

[LEFT]I’m working on a project where I have Multiple instances with the same actions.

Instead of typing out

btn1._visible = false;
btn2._visible = false;
btn3._visible = false;
btn4._visible = false;

Could I store these instances in an array so that I could minimize my code to something like:

btnArray._visible = false;

I’ve tried to do this but it seems to read the instances as strings instead. Someone told me that this was possible once but I forgot the solution.

Thanks for any help
