Can anyone tell me how to group objects together so that you can change their parimeters all at once. Like if I have a 7 boxes on screen with the instance name box1, box2, ect… and i wanted to do change them via action script, like make them all partailly invisible when an event happens. How would I do that. I’ve tried stuff like

box = ["\_root.red", “\_root.blue”];  
box.\_rotation = 40;

and  
box = [\_root.red, \_root.blue];  
box.\_rotation = 40;

and

box = (\_root.red), (\_root.blue);  
box.\_rotation = 40;

but they don’t don’t seem to work. One of them changes only the last one.
