Here's a JSFL function for returning an Array of all elements with a given instance name in whole Flash Document.
I was trying to make something like JavaScript's "getElementsById()" method.
My intent was to make this compatible with both Flash 8 and CS3 IDEs.

Note: Unfortunately, this method will not find elements that are grouped.
Let me know if this is helpful or if there is a better way to do this.

Example:

 
fl.outputPanel.clear();
var items=findObjects("mybox");
var n=0;
while(n < items.length){
	items[n].rotation=45;
	n++;
}
alert("Found "+items.length+" items.");
