[MX] - Get me beyond the evil eval!

1

Okay all you smarty pants out there… I seem to always stumble on this – every app I build requires something similar. Here’s a simple example; if someone could please show me a better way to do it, and also explain exactly what it is they’re doing, I would benefit greatly. Apparently using eval() is a bad thing. So help me get beyond it! Please! Pleeeeeease!:

for (var i:Number = 1; i < 10; i++) {
	var mcButton:MovieClip = eval("but"+i+"_mc");
	mcButton.activeLayer = i;
	mcButton.onRelease = function():Void {
		trace("Button "+this.activeLayer+" pressed");
		var mcLayer:MovieClip = eval("layer"+this.activeLayer+"_mc");
		mcLayer._visible = !mcLayer._visible;
	}
	
}

Okay, so what’s the best way to write this?
Basically just telling some MovieClips to make some other MovieClips invisible/visible when they’re clicked on.

Thanks all – you’re all wonderful people.
