controlling/checking object anims in families?

This is probably very easy to do in Construct 2, but I just cannot figure it out, and I have been searching the manual and forum for two hours now.

I have a family with enemies. Each family member contains two animations called "statusAnim", and "scoreAnim".

Now, I would like to control the statusAnim animation through the family (many members). So on a collision with a bullet, how would I set the statusAnim or scoreAnim to a specific frame? And how would I check which frame either animations are in?

Sigh, never mind! I did not notice a second variable check that negated everything I tried. Really tired now - will sleep! ;-)
