Hi Guys,

I have a little problem, I have a scene containing about 30 movieclips (all with a unique instance name!)

I want to call all movieclips at once, on a specific keypress - ex. when I press the key “a”, I want to tell one clip to go to frame 2, and all the rest to go to frame 1

I know how to do this the “hard” way, by writing all 30 actions on each key, but I’m looking for an easier way, ideas anyone?

Everything is welcome / Thanks in advance / Thomas 🙂
