    To target something you need to give it an instance name.
    those names can be given only to movie clips and buttons not to grafics.
    the name in the library is only the name of the OBJECT.
    object can be places 100000000+++ times in the movie and every single of the placement can be given diff instance name.

    to give an instance name place an object on your workarea
    press right mouse button on it then select proporties then under the "name" (or "instance name") option enter the instance name of the object.
    then the _root.movieclip proporty will start working on that object!!!
