Is it possible to move to button symbols with same instance name?  
example.

2 button symbols with the instance name \*\*square

\*\*both has the action

\*on (keyPress “\<left\>”) {  
\_root.kvadrat.\_x -= 20;  
}

\*the problem is that only one of the button symbols move. I know that I can change one of the names to something else and have it work like this.

\*on (keyPress “\<left\>”) {  
\_root.kvadrat1.\_x -= 20;  
\_root.kvadrat2.\_x -= 20;  
}

\*But that would ruin my idea, cause I want an easy way to add and remove the same symbol that will move to the keypresses.
