How do i create a variable in another scope than the current one?

For example, say i have a MovieClip, mc

i want to create an object within that mc.

so instead of var obj:Object = new Object()

i want to do something this this effect:

var mc.obj:Object = new Object()

effectivly creating that object with the scope of the mc
