Hi Tom,

I don't know, when I have multiple copies with the same Instance name

the name only appears once.


> Is it different instances of the same object...?

My guess is different Instances with the same Instance name, they may or

may not be the same Library item or even the same object.


> Does it matter which one the action is assigned to..?

If there are multiple MCs with the same Inastance Name available at the

time a Tell target call is made, Flash will Tell Target the MC on the

lowest layer only.
