oh k.

I know that if you want to do a for loop and manipulate a MC on that level then you can do this

```auto

for (i=0; i<numBoxes;i++) {
	this["MCName"+i]._height = 30*i;
}

```

but how do you get to an MC not on that level?

IE

```auto

for (i=0; i<numBoxes;i++) {
	_root.b0xHolder.["MCName"+i]._height = 30*i;
}

```

This doesnt’ work, how can I make it work?
