</div>

Is there any way to do this code with less lines - with usage of WHILE or FOR or some other LOOP function.

progBar1.\_xscale=0;  
progBar2.\_xscale=0;  
progBar3.\_xscale=0;  
progBar4.\_xscale=0;  
progBar5.\_xscale=0;  
progBar6.\_xscale=0;  
progBar7.\_xscale=0;  
progBar8.\_xscale=0;  
progBar9.\_xscale=0;  
progBar10.\_xscale=0;

All there is changing is progbar number in name.  
Any ideas?

you the following actions:

```auto

for(i=0; i&lt;11; i++){
	_root["progBar"+i]._xscale = 0;
}
```
