Wait, I think that is wrong, in the library (ctrl-l) the icons do not

represent instances, they are symbols there, references, it doesn't become

an instance until it is actually put on the stage.


Dana, when you make a new symbol (movie clip) on the drawing area(stage)

that is an instance, it also makes a copy of that in your library that you

can drag out, and use as many times you want, and as you drag out another

and another, each of those become New instances. if you double click on any

ONE instance on the stage you will get a dialog box, with the tabs (I am

sure you have seen it) and providing that the symbol is a Movie clip you

will have an option to name the instance, which will allow you to later

target that instance by name..


I don't know if I am making since, but think of it along the lines of a

library of books, you have the card catalog which shows you a list of all

the books, then you have the actual books on the shelf... there may be more

then one copy of the book, and they all have the same title, but each may

have its own little number on it saying which one of the (however many)

copies the library has that particular one is. i.e. an instance of the

book... follow? (hell I am not sure if I do :oP)


good luck :o)

Go to >window>library [NOT libraries on the main interface menu]. That will

give you a list of all your "instances", labelled as icons acording to their

type.


HTH,  Dana.
