If I'm putting script on a button inside a symbol that targets an animated symbol in the main movie to begin, how do I reference the symbol (I.E. is there a "directory structure" to use, and how do I set it?)
 
_root.mymcinstance'sname.play();
You can type this in the actions box, after you hit the top-right arrowlike menu and switched to expert's mode... Unless you feel you haven't reached that level yet, in which case you could still use the tellTarget action in normal mode!

BTW, answer to your other question...

Maybe you should also read about it in the help file or the tutorial in the help file! Rotating those kites!
