Ⓜ Jeez, am I pissed off.  
Once again, I am having problems with variables and mc locations…  
I’m making a game of tic-tac-toe, so there is a mc duplication going on with dynamic names and stuff… so this:  
var xname = “\_root.” + turn + turnnum.toString()  
will return as the location of the target that I want…  
However, I want to take xname and set its \_x property to 115…  
This won’t work:  
xname.\_x = 115  
or  
var xname = “\_root.” + turn + turnnum.toString()xname = 115

So what do I do???
