is there a cleaner way to attach movie clips than this type of syntax?

\_root.attachMovie (“Frame”, “frame”, 60);  
frame.\_x = 375;  
frame.\_y = 375;

\_root.attachMovie (“BeigeGrad”, “bgrad”, 10);  
bgrad.\_x = 378;  
bgrad.\_y = 850;

by say doing it similar to this?

\_root.attachMovie (“Frame”, “frame”, 60),(“BeigeGrad”, “bgrad”, 10);

frame.\_x = 375;  
frame.\_y = 375;

bgrad.\_x = 378;  
bgrad.\_y = 850;
