Could anyone offer advise as to a more efficient way of writing the following please:

function trailReveal() {  
if (\_root.mover.hitTest(\_root.dot1)) {  
\_root.dot1.\_visible = true;  
//trace(“trail left3”);  
}  
if (\_root.mover.hitTest(\_root.dot2)) {  
\_root.dot2.\_visible = true;

}  
if (\_root.mover.hitTest(\_root.dot3)) {  
\_root.dot3.\_visible = true;

}  
if (\_root.mover.hitTest(\_root.dot4)) {  
\_root.dot4.\_visible = true;

}  
}
