Ok, So I need help at this.

I have this script to duplicate movieclips:

\*\* \_root.duplinumblue += 1;  
\_root.bs.duplicateMovieClip(“bs”+\_root.duplinumblue, \_root.duplinumblue);\*\*

Now You’ll be getting all sorts of movieclips like bs1, bs2, bs3, bs4, bs5, bs6 and so on.

Now I want to make a hittest script like this:

\*\*if(this.hitTest(\_root.bs1) OR this.hitTest(\_root.bs2) OR this.hitTest(\_root.bs3) ) {  
//Actions  
}  
\*\*  
But that would only do it for bs1, 2 and 3, but I want it for ALL, which will reach into thousands of movieclips if a lot are duplicated, how would I do such a thing in a short line of code and NOT using a lot of OR’s
