guys, help!

i have this code in a MC which dups a MC called blob which is in \_root level. n has already been declared elsewhere:

n+=1;  
duplicateMovieClip(\_root.blob,“blob”+n, \_root.n);

ok, so now i want to change the \_x of the “blob+n” duplicates to the same \_x as another MC which I called “gun”. how do i do that?

\_root.“blob”+n.\_x = \_root.gun.\_x

does NOT work.

I tried this also:

setProperty(“blob”+n,\_x,(getProperty(\_root.gun,\_x));

no luck with any of these code

any help would be appreciated thanks =\>
