you can target "all" clips in a movie by doing

Begin Tell Target ("")

Dunno how that works with more complicated nesting though...
like if you need to do it from/to a timeline that isn't the root... (?)

There's always the while loop...

Set Variable: "count" = 1
Loop While (count <= 10)

Begin Tell Target("/p" & count)
If (_currentframe eq "gone")
Play
End If
End Tell Target

Set Variable "count" = count + 1
End Loop

one of these approaches should work.
I support the second because you'll keep your
hair a lot longer.
