Hey Michael, seeing as you can't create Sprites on the timeline, the
following won't work because your sprites don't have instance names.
Thus when you are creating your sprites, you have to add them all to an
array.
i.e.
var columns:Array = new Array();
for(var i:int = 0; i <= 50; i ++){
var column:Sprite = new Sprite();
allcolumns.addChild(column);
columns.push(column);
}
private function changeChar(e:Event):void {
columns[9].gotoAndStop(5);
