I am using the current coding to duplicate a symbol on the stage. I would like to be able to then grab them all and move around at once.

This is a huge hurdle I am trying to get over so any help will be appreciated.

on (release) {  
var amount = 6;  
for (var i = 1; i\<=amount; i++) {  
\_root.duplicateMovieClip (\_root.testy, “ball”+i, i);  
\_root[“ball”+i].\_y = (\_root[“ball”+(i-1)].\_y)+35; }  
}
