Hello, as a quick overview, I have a member bio clip with 256 keyframes. Each keyframe has a set of 3 text fields on the stage for info. Because of the editing CMS I am implementing, each text field must have it's own unique Instance name.
Clicking a button goes to Frame 2, which has the same text fields again.. but with different instance names.

There are 256 member pages I need to to.. and clicking each keyframe and changing 3 Instance names would be rediculous. Is there a way to speed things up? Somehow batch rename InstanceName_0,1,2,3,4 etc etc.

Thanks for any help

You should be able to do that with JSFL - the JavaScript scripting language for interacting with the Flash Authoring tool. Your history is recorded in it, so you can always do it once and see what the history steps create. Then create a custom script using that (and referencing the docs) to do the rest for you.
