Just learning actionscript. (I’m a better programmer than visual artist)  
I have a question in 2 parts.  
Is it possible to either

[list]  
[\*]refer to all m.c.s at once  
[/list] or

[list]  
[\*]dynamically (additively) group m.c.s  
[/list] essentially, I am trying to replicate radiate accretive growth in Flash.

however, I need to add objects dynamically and be able to check the bounds of all objects.

ANy help will be appreciated.
