Help With Very Easy Code

[spires]

Hi



I'm not to sure why, but I'm getting an error in my code

var cloud1:mcCloud1 = new mcCloud1();
var cloud1.x = 7.5;
var cloud1.y = 77.7;
addChild(cloud1);

ERROR:

1086: Syntax error: expecting semicolon before dot.



Can someone point me in the right direction please.


Thanks

var cloud1:mcCloud1 = new mcCloud1();
//,this part is wrong
var cloud1.x = 7.5;
var cloud1.y = 77.7;
addChild(cloud1);

should be

var cloud1:mcCloud1 = new mcCloud1();
cloud1.x = 7.5;
cloud1.y = 77.7;
addChild(cloud1);

OK.
I see, It does not need to be placed inside of a var.



Thanks
