I went throught the naming instance tutorial. However, I don't understand the procedure needed in order to get the instance names to show up in the text box.
Can anyone tell me how to do that?
Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by the text box...

Hit "CTRL I". Boom, instance panel for you to name the clips on stage.

The actual source to that tutorial is a bit more complicate than the tutorial itself. The code is on each mouse. It sets a root level text box to this._name. _name is a property, which returns the instance name of any MC. this is a path. this._name returns the instance name of the MC the code is run from, in this case, the mice clips.
