Greetings all!

I have 50 buttons on the screen. I want to make them visible and invisible in groups. So I have created several different arrays where the objects in the arrays are instances of those same named buttons:

myArray = newArray()  
myArray[0] = button1  
myArray[1] = button2  
myArray[3] = button3  
etc… up to button50

How can I change all the buttons’ properties in the array at the same time to .\_visible = false ?  
I can change them one at a time like this:  
myArray[1].\_visible = false

But I want to change them all. I tried:  
myArray.\_visible=false  
but nothing at all happens.

Please help!
