```auto

on (release) {
 if (_root.b<>1 and _root.m<>1 and _root.sm<>1) {
  gotoAndStop("s3");
  _root["b"+_root.b].gotoAndPlay("s2");
  _root.sph.sph.gotoAndPlay("s1");
  _root.b = 1;
 }
 if (_root.sm == 1 and _root.m<>1) {
  _root.b = 1;
  _root.script.gotoAndPlay("stop");
  gotoAndStop("s3");
  
 }
}

```

What would this code do if it where placed on a button with the instance name b1, b2, etc. ?

Whilst another button with instance name a has this:

```auto

on (release) {
 if (_root.m<>1){
 _root.b=1
 _root.script.gotoAndPlay("stop");}
 _root["b"+_root.b].gotoAndStop("s3");
}

```

I’m aware the question is foggy, but…

Any clue?
