Movieclips to one variable(?)

allright, I’ll try to explain this right…

is it possible to add movieclips to variables?? or do I need to use arrays??

The thing is i’m making a game, a fighting game and I have enemys, enemy1, enemy2 and so on…

is it possible (for actionscrip use) to have one variable say “enemys” and add all the enemys to the variable??

i.e.

enemys = _parent.enemy1 “and” _parent.enemy2 “and” _parent.enemy3 …

is there a better way to achieve this??

thanx in forehand!
