Correct answer

var buttons:Array = new Array(btn1, btn2, btn3, btn4, btn5);


NumberDots();


function NumberDots():void {

    for (var i:int=0; i < buttons.length; i++) {
   
    var frame:Number = i+1;
    buttons.gotoAndplay(frame);
   
    }
}

Put the buttons in an array and refer to array instead. In the array simply put the instance names of the buttons. in the order you want them to move (1,2,3).
