Hi, I’m trying to work out how to move the location of an object with just one line of code, to move the location of a movieclip named “ball” I would do:

```auto

ball.x = 100;
ball.y = 100;

```

But I was wondering if there is a way to just call the object “ball” and move the X and Y on the same line? I thought it may be something like:

```auto
ball{x=100, y=100}

```

But that just moves the stage’s X and Y location unfortunately. Thanks if you can point me in the right direction. 😉 (Sorry if the title was misleading, I’m not sure what the technical terms would be.)
