If each of the columns has .name='column1' etc:
e.target.getChildByName("column10").gotoAndStop(5);
should do it.
But personally I'd at least do some type-checking on all that, and
would probably create a method inside an AllColumns class to handle
changeChar(). (Obviously I don't know what you're doing, though...)
