How could I tidy this script up?

Hi I'm new to learning AS3 and it's about as enjoyable as gargling on broken glass. But hey I'm trying to get with the times, so here is my script, I have nine buttons and essentially I'm using the same function apart from the values are different and therefore I'm having to write out a separate function for each button. I'll show you the script for two buttons and you'll see that the only changes are values from 1 to 2, so is there a way I can write just one function for all of the buttons and just pass the relevant value to it via a variable?

root[main].thumb1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onButton1Click);
root[main].thumb2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onButton2Click);


function onButton1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
if(whoseClicked !=1){

mc1=new transitionClick1();
mc1.name = "mc1";
mc1.tranA.inner.stagePic.addChild(bigImagesA[1]);
mc1.tranB.inner.stagePic.addChild(bigImagesB[1]);
addChild(mc1);
mc1.x=57.8;
mc1.y=39.9;
root[main].transition1.gotoAndStop(1);
root[main].transition1.tranA.inner.masker.gotoAndStop(1);
root[main].transition1.tranA.inner.gotoAndStop(1);
root[main].transition1.tranA.alpha=0;
root[main].transition1.tranB.inner.masker.gotoAndStop(1);
root[main].transition1.tranB.inner.gotoAndStop(1);
root[main].transition1.tranB.alpha=0;
root[main].stop();
whoseClicked =1;
}
}

function onButton2Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
if(whoseClicked !=2){

mc2=new transitionClick2();
mc2.name = "mc2";
mc2.tranA.inner.stagePic.addChild(bigImagesA[2]);
mc2.tranB.inner.stagePic.addChild(bigImagesB[2]);
addChild(mc2);
mc2.x=57.8;
mc2.y=39.9;
root[main].transition2.gotoAndStop(1);
root[main].transition2.tranA.inner.masker.gotoAndStop(1);
root[main].transition2.tranA.inner.gotoAndStop(1);
root[main].transition2.tranA.alpha=0;
root[main].transition2.tranB.inner.masker.gotoAndStop(1);
root[main].transition2.tranB.inner.gotoAndStop(1);
root[main].transition2.tranB.alpha=0;
root[main].stop();
whoseClicked =2;
}
}

I used to be able to pass the variable inside the brackets at the end of each function name but the (evt:MouseEvent) gets in the way


Any ideas?

I've sorted it thanks
