few lines of code better than many 1

[tanatos]

I want eight instances of eight mc's to appear invisible on the scene when a button is clicked. Instead of on release....visible= falsebla, bla... eight times, i'd like to choose a most inteligent way to get it, with very few lines of code if possible. But, as i'm not very clever with actionscript, i claim for experts help - i know they're really are -.
Thanks in advance.

This will do it as long as your movieclips are named with a numeric index (myMc1, myMc2... thru myMc8)

on(release){
  for(var i=1;i<=8;i++){
    this['myMc'+i]._visible=false;
  }
}
