lets say i have a button array setup and this function is used for the array.

this[butArray\*].onRelease = function() {

```
		this.gotoAndStop(6);

		destinationY = this._y;

```

};

this runs the action for all buttons.  
lets says i want “a.\_visible = false;” to run only when “button3” of the array is pressed?
