I am duplicating a movieclip on the stage in which Flash labels them in order.  
AKA. ball1…ball2…ball3…ball4…etc.

I’m trying to change the color of all of them from another button and so far I have to do it like this: Is there a shorter way?

on (release) {  
var visitedcolor = new Color(\_root.bb.t1.screen);  
visitedcolor.setRGB(0x00FF00);  
var visitedcolor1 = new Color(\_root.bb.ball1.screen);  
visitedcolor1.setRGB(0x00FF00);  
var visitedcolor2 = new Color(\_root.bb.ball2.screen);  
visitedcolor2.setRGB(0x00FF00);  
var visitedcolor3 = new Color(\_root.bb.ball3.screen);  
visitedcolor3.setRGB(0x00FF00);  
var visitedcolor4 = new Color(\_root.bb.ball4.screen);  
visitedcolor4.setRGB(0x00FF00);  
var visitedcolor5 = new Color(\_root.bb.ball5.screen);  
visitedcolor5.setRGB(0x00FF00);  
}
