This code is begging to be in a loop-  
The only thing changing from button to button is the number.  
It would be awesome if someone could help me truncate this- my syntax isn’t where I’d like it to be yet…  
Thanks in advance!

thumb1.onRelease = function () {  
thumber (pic1);  
\_parent.credit\_txt.text = pic1Text;  
currentPic = 1;  
};  
//  
//  
thumb2.onRelease = function () {  
thumber (pic2);  
\_parent.credit\_txt.text = pic2Text;  
currentPic = 2;  
};
