flash actionscript: Is there any way one Clip/Button instance can ask another Clip/Button instance
what symbol it contains, and then load a different symbol into that instance
ONLY if it contains a certain symbol? So: MovieClip 'Dog' asks asks another
MovieClip (X) whether it contains a 'Cat' or a 'Mouse'. If instance X returns
'Cat' then 'Dog' is turned into a 'Mouse', but, if X returns 'Mouse' then
nothing happens.

yes:

dog.onPress=function(){
for(obj in _root.X){
if(_root.X[obj]==Cat){
// do something to dog
} else if (_root.X[obj]==Mouse1){ //Mouse is reserved
// do something else to dog
}
}

dog.onPress=function(){
for(obj in _root.X){
if(_root.X[obj]._name==Cat){
// do something to dog
} else if (_root.X[obj]._name==Mouse1){ //Mouse is reserved
// do something else to dog
}
}

Thank a lot that's great.
