I am placing 6 images on the stage using a for loop as such:

```auto
for (var i:uint = 0; i < 6; i++)
{
	var padding:uint = 15;
	var imageX:uint = 0;
	image = new Image();
	image.x = imageX;

	container.addChild(image);
				
	imageX += image.width + padding;
}

```

Then using MouseEvents I make each image grow on MOUSE\_OVER and shrink back on MOUSE\_OUT. I would like to maintain the spacing (padding) in between the scaled image and the image on either side.

How do I target each image when they are created with identical identifiers?
