if i create a new sprite/ or a movieclip and then add it to the stage:
var someName:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(someName);
that sprite/moviclip is going to have some instance name like “instance1”
i can see that with trace:
trace(someName.name);
but if i then say:
instance1.x = 100;
i wil get an error: “Access of undefined property instance1”
i know i can say:
someName.x = 100;
but why cant i get to it through its instance name, or can i somehow?
and what is the point of that instance name then?
the reason i am asking is if i have multiple sprites with the same name, but different instance names how could i get to each of them in that case?
