An efficient way to add a property to multiple movieclips

1

hello,

This should be an easy one. I have several movieclips with instance names (we’ll call them apple_mc, orange_mc, bananna_mc, and peach_mc. if i wanted to set all of their alphas to 0 i know i could do this:

apple_mc.alpha=0;
orange_mc.alpha=0;
bananna_mc=0;
peach_mc=0;

but if i have say 10 or more movieclips i want to set the alpha for (or any other property) this gets a bit cumbersome. i know there is a more efficient way. maybe an array or for loop for i can’t seem to figure anything out. any help is appreciated.

thanks!
