Help to clear the air...

Need some understanding here.

I've got a movie clip (myMovieClip) in the Library. I then drag, 5 copies of it to the timeline and named them myMovieClip01, myMovieClip02, myMovieClip03, myMovieClip04 and myMovieClip05.

I scripted a onClipEvent (mouseDown) for myMovieClip01. When I clicked on myMovieClip02 or the other 3, it behaves just like myMovieClip01.

When I scripted myMovieClip01.onRelease = function() in the main timeline, then the rest behaves the way I wanted.

Is this suppose to happen? Why?

yes that will happen...they are after all just copies...attach code and they all have it...assign an action to an instance and only that instance will have those actions
