Controlling a movieclip Based on Instance name

Hello Everyone,

I have got a simple movie clip which runs a short animation when clicked upon. The movie clip contains a series flags and each has an name. The movie has been replicated a number of times on the main stage, and each has been given its own instance name.

When i currently click on the movie clip all of the instances are running. What would be the best way to display just one clip at a time, based on calling its individual instance name and setting is to go to a specific flag in the moveclip.

Any help would be appreciated.

Kind regards

Timbronze
