this is an object created in main timeline, the problem I have is that this info is stored in memory and read only once it seems. How do I access it from a movieclip and change x and y positions???

Anyone got any ideas

brk1 = {};  
brk1.clip = this.brick1;  
brk1.x = brick1x;[//brk1.clip](https://brk1.clip).\_x;  
brk1.y = brk1.clip.\_y;  
brk1.radius = brk1.clip.\_width/2;  
brk1.mass = 100000000;  
brk1.bounce = 10;  
brk1.xmov = 0;  
brk1.ymov = 0;  
trace(brick1x)

Well, \_root.brk1.x or \_parent.brk1.x should work, no?
