Hi, I am working with a flash file that someone else created.

On frame 75 of a movieclip called mvImage (located on the main timeline), there is an IF statement. IF the conditions are met, I need ALL movieclips to stop (main timeline, mvImage, and ALL movieclips inside mvImage). since i'm a newbie, the only way i've been sort of successful in doing that is to call the stop(); function for each and every instance of movieclips that I've been able to find within mvImage. I've been able to do that successfully, except for one remaining movieclip instance of which i do not know the name to call the stop(); function. i cannot locate on the stage/timeline anywhere. any ideas on how to find it? is there any way i can see a listing of all instances/movieclips used within a specific movieclip?

Howdy and Welcome... :)

Do Test Movie, and select Debug - List Variables to see all the instances in the movie...
