Targeting Arrays and making them invisible

Question

Hi: I'm having trouble targeting elements of an array using AS3. I have five buttons in an array named botons.
var botons:Array = [boton_1, boton_2, boton_3, boton_4, boton_5];
Each button goes to a different page, but they all are on the same layer like navigation bar.
When page 1 is visited button 1 should be invisible and the others visible. When on page 2, button 2 should be invisible but all others visible.
I used the following to make the entire array invisible and it works.
for(var i:int; i<clips.length;i++)
botons[i].visible=false;
How can I make each button invisible when visiting its page, but make the rest visible?
Thanks

Ned:
Here is my entire script. I added what you suggested. It still doesn't work.
Page names: first, second, third, fouth, and fifth.
boton_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPNext);
boton_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPNext);
boton_3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPNext);
boton_4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPNext);
boton_5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPNext);
function goPNext (evt:MouseEvent)
switch (evt.currentTarget.name)
case "boton_1":
gotoAndStop("first");
break;
case "boton_2":
gotoAndStop("second");
break;
case "boton_3":
gotoAndStop("third");
break;
case "boton_4":
gotoAndStop("fourth");
break;
case "boton_5":
gotoAndStop("fifth");
break;
}// end switch
}// function
for(var i:uint = 0; i < 5; i++)
getChildByName("boton"+i).addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);
function navigate(e:MouseEvent):void
for(var i:uint = 0; i < 5; i++)
getChildByName("boton"+i).visible = true;
e.currentTarget.visible = false;
// determine where to navigate based on e.currentTarget
