Another Instances Question

[RandalGroves]

Is there a command that tells you the name of the current instance of a movie clip you are playing? I need to be able to know which of six intances I am currently running.

If not is there a longer way of doing it with actionscripting.

Thanks for the help.

Well this code on the onClipEvent(load) action will output the name of this instance:

onClipEvent (load) {
trace(this);
_level0.current = this;
trace(_level0.current);
}

How you might use this, well that's another story!

Regards,

There is also the "name" property of a clip. Accessed by:

this._name

Which return the clip's instance name as a string. It's handy for renaming instances on the fly...

oldClip._name="newClip";
newClip.gotoAndStop(3);
