Naming an instance

[dwayne]

I was reading another post in how to make a simple preloader - and part of the instructions directed the user to....

on frame one of your main timeline create an instance of the bar movie clip and type "bar" as the instance name. make sure you name the instance. have this frame extend to the second frame as well (you can do this easily by highlighting the frame in the timeline and pressing F5).

Can someone explain the steps in how to name this instance in MX2004?

Frustrated....

hi

have you tried naming each instance after you convert it into "button" or "movie clip" or "graphic" by giving it a name in the properties window at the bottom ?
