How to control a MC according to its variable

I have several MCs, each one with a different _name.

when a Mc is clicked a variable is defined to it. Like:


on (press){
_root.clicked = this._name;
}

Also have a function on the main timeline that will reduz the MCs scale, but not all the other MCs.
How can I make the function call the Mc according to it´s variable? (just scale the MC with the variable clicked == this._name.)

Hope have been clear enough.
Thanks for any help
