I have some scripts that almost doing same thing, but just different buttons, how should i shorten it down? Cause i would have a lot, ■■■■ lot function to write :s  
\*the buttons are not dynamic created so i would be easier to do some other stuff.

```auto

lv1_bsp1.onPress = function() {
    shop1();
    lv1_shp1.gotoAndPlay("play");
};
lv1_bsp2.onPress = function() {
    shop2();
 lv1_shp2.gotoAndPlay("play");
};
lv1_bsp3.onPress = function() {
    shop3();
 lv1_shp3.gotoAndPlay("play");
};
lv1_bsp4.onPress = function() {
    shop4();
 lv1_shp4.gotoAndPlay("play");
};
lv1_bsp5.onPress = function() {
    shop5();
 lv1_shp5.gotoAndPlay("play");
};
