moving a class with code

I am animating and moving some objects based upon the value of a variable. The variable value is retrieved from the stage, and then when a symbol is clicked ...

var myName == "blue"

// animate height of symbol "blue"

sym.$(myName).animate ({'height':'+=100px'});

//animate elements with class "blue"

sym.$('.myName').animate ({'top':'+=100px'});
