Using more then 1 .as class

Question

This is probaly a really simple question but here we go.

My enemy is made up of 20 different Movieclips. Part1, Part2 ect

I have a class which bacicly has this in: if(this.hitTestObject(BulletArray)) //Do something (RemoveChild Probaly)

All the code works all I want to know is how to apply the .as class to all 20 parts of the enemy, Previosly I just had 20 .as classes but I knew that was very imparcticle when I need to change things so I want to apply the .as class to the 20 parts how could I go about doing this.

Thanks

yes, using an array would be one way to loop through each movieclip. assign each an instance name and use that in your array:

var partsA:Array=[head, nectk,armLeft,armRight,...];

for(var i:int=partsA.length-1;i>=0;i--){

if your enemy class instances have 20 children and you want to hittest against the children use something like:

if(this.armLeft.hitTestObject(BulletArray)){

or, if the only children for your enemy class instances are the 20 different movieclips, you can use:

for(var j:int=this.numChildren-1;j>=0;j--){

if(this.getChildAt(j).hitTestObject(BulletArray)){
