In the flash help the following works  
on(release) {  
with(\_root.ball) {  
gotoAndPlay(2);  
\_alpha = 15;  
\_xscale = 50;  
\_yscale = 50;  
}  
}

but when I add myVar = 10 it doesn’t go into the \_root.ball but the \_root only.  
Is there a way to add lots of variables to a mc without having to type mc.var1=…, mc.var2=…etc.  
Thanks in advanced!
