Variables and Paths

[RohanJM]

Hi
can anyone tell me if it is possible to put a var that holds a name instead of a instance name while setting propertys

eg:

_root.main.mc1

i want to replace _root.main with a var "i".

PS: I know a bout _parent so i dont need info 'bout that. I want it for another reason too.

Thanks

As far as I know : no. But maybe there's a workaround. Example : you could place the instance, labeled, on the main timeline, duplicateMovie and give this an instance name dynamically.
