again:  
there is no  
\_root.eval(“body”+k).\_x //returns undefined

the eval function won’t work as a prototype. it will only work as a function:  
eval(“body”+k).\_x

if you want to use a path in front of a variable mc use  
\_root[“body”+k].\_x //with no dot in front of the []

or put the path inside the eval statement (thats what it was buit for)  
eval("\_root.body"+k).\_x
