for (a=0; a<4; a++) {
_root["btn"+a].a= a;
_root["btn"+a].onRelease = function() {
trace(eval("btn"+a));
duplicateMovieClip("circle_mc", "dupMC"+this.a, _root.getNextHighestDepth());
trace("dupMC"+a);
_root["dupMC"+this.a]._y = this.a*50;
trace(_root["dupMC"+this.a]._y);
}
}

And the reason for that is that variables that are accessed within button event handlers are evaluated at the time the button event occurs, NOT at the time the button event handler is created.
