Is there a simple shorthand for assigning the same value to multiple movieclips? For example, I have 25 MCs with names “img1”, “img2” etc. and I want their \_alpha value to be zero.

Is there a for loop or something I can use so I don’t have to type “img1.\_alpha = 0;” "img2.\_alpha = 0; etc.

Thanks
