Ah! Nested groups! I have not think about that! :-))
In a first glance, i believe that your idea could
work just fine. I'll make some test and return with 
results, later today. :-))

Thanks a lot Scott!!!

Yes, a lesson that i learned time ago
in the hard way... (having to change the scripts
of dozen of objects)

Hi Ken,

You are right, "copy" will duplicate every object
and will contribute to bloat the size... if i save
the stack... ;-)

but what if... i create the copies 
while the stack is playing and then 
close the stack without saving...

Hmmm, this idea opens more possibilities too.

Thanks a lot Ken!!!

By the way, in which ways others development
platforms,
implement the concept of reusing components like
movie clips, instances or groups????
