Referencing instance name w/variable in prototype call

programming flash
1

Hello all, I’m trying to reference an instance through the use of a variable in my call to a prototype. The variable is myVar and contains the instance name to which I want to apply the resizeTo prototype. My syntax is incorrect and I haven’t found any clues in my search. Any help is always appreciated. Thanks.


on(release){
	//disregard this line
	this.swapDepths(this._parent.getNextHighestDepth());
	//this is calling a prototype named resizeTo
	this.resizeTo(150, -100, -100);
	//Setting instance name of another movie 
	myVar = "green";
	//Trying to drop that instance name into my next prototype call
	this._parent.myVar.resizeTo(100, _parent.old_X, _parent.old_Y);
}
