Need some easy (i think) help.

Question

Yesterday i wrote this "for" loop to activate four buttons:
for (var i:int = 1; i<5; i++) {
this["button" + i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,
overHandler);
this["button" + i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,
outHandler);
this["button" + i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
clickHandler);
Not i want to activate four more, but the are nested in
another movieclip
my code looks like this now:
border.button5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,
overBorderHandler);
border.button5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,
outBorderHandler);
border.button5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
clickBorderHandler);
border.button6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,
overBorderHandler);
border.button6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,
outBorderHandler);
border.button6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
clickBorderHandler);
border.button7.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,
overBorderHandler);
border.button7.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,
outBorderHandler);
border.button7.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
clickBorderHandler);
border.button8.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,
overBorderHandler);
border.button8.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,
outBorderHandler);
border.button8.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
clickBorderHandler);
I dont know the how to write the code when the objects are
nested in the "border" movieclip...
I have tried some variety.... like:
this["border.button" + i]....
or
border.this["button"+i]....
But it wont work, can someone please guide me in the right
direction =)
