What is a better way of writing this.

function fade() {  
\_root.mcBlue1.\_alpha = 50;  
\_root.mcBlue12.\_alpha = 50;  
\_root.mcBlue13.\_alpha = 50;  
\_root.mcBlue14.\_alpha = 50;  
\_root.mcBlue15.\_alpha = 50;  
\_root.mcBlue16.\_alpha = 50;  
\_root.mcBlue17.\_alpha = 50;  
\_root.mcBlue18.\_alpha = 50;  
\_root.mcBlue19.\_alpha = 50;  
\_root.mcBlue110.\_alpha = 50;  
\_root.mcBlue111.\_alpha = 50;  
};
