Getting timeline of movieclip instance in the library

mrand01 · 06-02-2004, 02:08 PM

I have some movieclips...actually about 150 movieclips...that all need a 640 X 480 black box wrapped around them. Doing this manually just isn't my style...but I can't figure out how to do it w/ JSFL. I can access _root timelines easily, but how can I access the timeline of a library item so I can draw on it? Is it possible?
