I have used an array to store references to movie clips in my experiment with arrays.

myhits = [welcome\_hit, sponsors\_hit, stats\_hit, hot\_hit, links\_hit, about\_hit];  
myhits[0].\_alpha = 0;  
myhits[1].\_alpha = 0;  
myhits[2].\_alpha = 0;  
myhits[3].\_alpha = 0;  
myhits[4].\_alpha = 0;  
myhits[5].\_alpha = 0;

I would like to know how to change the properties of the items in the array without having to reference them individually. The above is not exactly time efficient.

myhits.\_alpha=0 won’t work I guess because the array is not an object with properties.

Any help, useful articles etc

cheers

```auto
for (i=0; i<myhits.length; i++) myhits*._alpha = 0;

```
