ActionScript 3.0 :: Instead Of Repeating Line Of Code 16 Times, Use A Loop?

I have a movieclip called myButton,inside of myButton i have a textfield called buttonLabel. I have 16 instances of myButton placed on the stage with instancenames myButton1,myButton2, etc.I want the textfield inside of each button to display the same number as the one in their instance name. ie myButton1.buttonLabel.text = "1".instead of repeating that line of code 16 times, is there a way i can use a loop? something like

for (var i:int = 1; i < 17; i++)
{
myButton(i).buttonLabel.text = i
}
