Hmm, this is kind of wild. Are all four instances on the same frame of the

timeline? If that's the case, and there isn't a stop action in the first

frame, it may be that all 4 instances are playing when you hit that place on

the timeline, but you only see one of them? So, when you tell them to stop,

they stop in the same place and then when you target the next to play it

starts from there? Making any sense? Do you have stop actions in the last

frame? It doesn't sound like it. You may need a "goto" frame 1 on the end of

the mcs to reset them if you aren't playing through the timeline, but are

going to it instead?
