One possible way is to give all the Movie Clips the same Instance Name.
Then no matter where you are a Tell Target targeting that Instance name
would work for whaatever frame and the Movie Clip in it.
This won't work:
1) If the Movie Clips overlap.
2) Or you need to addres the MCs each by unique names.

But if they are in a series then and only one is available at a time you
can give them the same Instance name.
