[SIZE=1]Hi, I am learning AS3, and I am trying to understand how to target dynamically created objects. I have the code:

```auto

for (var i:Number = 0; i<5; i++) {
    var boton:CreateButton(stage.stageWidth/5,30,0,1,colors*,test,0xFFFFFF,"English");
    boton.name="button"+i;
    addChild(boton);
    boton.y=0;
    boton.x=i*boton.width;
}

```

and I created this to target the buttons. I don’t know if this is the way to do it:

```auto

[SIZE=1]var button0:* =getChildByName('button0');
var button1:* =getChildByName('button1');
var button2:* =getChildByName('button2');
var button3:* =getChildByName('button3');
var button4:* =getChildByName('button4');
[/SIZE]

```

Could you please share some advice
