Re: Multiple Tell Targets

[Colin Moock]

I think the point is "Don't name your instances with the same name". If

they are unique--no matter what their name--then don't fool yourself

into thinking they are addressable as a group.


In fact, Flash 3 ought to warn you about using the same name twice. If

you can't take advantage of the identifier being the same, then it's

probably just a potential problem to allow it at all.


Think of it like Borg drones instead of children. If the collective

needs to address a specific drone, it does so by calling on its unique

numeric designation ("7 of 9", for instance) . Naming multiple drones

the same thing would be inefficient.


(wow...finally a Star Trek analogy ;)
