I want to have an overview of all of the instances I created. How do I do this? I use Flash 5.

you can get a listing of all instances currently running in flash while in test mode, by going to debug>listvariables...

i guess you could make one with actionscript to run during exectuion time. you would need to put a dynamic text box inside a movie clip.
then make a recursive for...in loop to loop through all your objects, duplicate your text-mc (for each object) and put the _name or _url property for each object into the text box. i think jim burton built a good recursive function that you could modify, but i'm not sure if this is what your askin for.
