It seems to me that there should be a way for me to optimize this into an array and a loop. But I know practically nothing about arrays. Can someone help me.

```auto

name.onSetFocus = function() {
	nameframe.gotoAndStop(2);
};
name.onKillFocus = function() {
	nameframe.gotoAndStop(1);
};
address.onSetFocus = function() {
	addressframe.gotoAndStop(2);
};
address.onKillFocus = function() {
	addressframe.gotoAndStop(1);
};
city.onSetFocus = function() {
	cityframe.gotoAndStop(2);
};
city.onKillFocus = function() {
	cityframe.gotoAndStop(1);
};
state.onSetFocus = function() {
	stateframe.gotoAndStop(2);
};
state.onKillFocus = function() {
	stateframe.gotoAndStop(1);
};
zip.onSetFocus = function() {
	zipframe.gotoAndStop(2);
};
zip.onKillFocus = function() {
	zipframe.gotoAndStop(1);
};
phone.onSetFocus = function() {
	phoneframe.gotoAndStop(2);
};
phone.onKillFocus = function() {
	phoneframe.gotoAndStop(1);
};
email.onSetFocus = function() {
	emailframe.gotoAndStop(2);
};
email.onKillFocus = function() {
	emailframe.gotoAndStop(1);
};

```
