Is it possible to target a timeline at just one level below the current timeline? rather than rooting to the begining and working your way up throuh MC’s with instance names. For example:

Instead of this:  
\_root.movieClip.Blue.Image.gotoAndStop(2);

You can do this:  
_BackOneLevel_.gotoAndStop(2);

Cheers
