I have an audio player movieclip with an instance name of “audioMC”. This audio player is placed on each frame of my movie (about 15), in a new keyframe.  
The problem I am running into is that because it has the same instance name (frame after frame), it is unable to “refresh” on each new frame, even though its a new keyframe. I am trying to get it to “re-look” a variable on the main time line, but it only does that the first time it is loaded onto a frame.

Is there anyway, without giving it a new instance name to accomplish this?
