Changes tested. Must continue with:
var mcHandInstance2 = new mcHand();
or nothing prints to swf.

Everything else works. Here are the differences:
public function myRightHand():void
{
var mcHandInstance1:mcHand = new mcHand();
addChild(mcHandInstance1);
mcHandInstance1.x = 400;
mcHandInstance1.y = 200;
}
/*
public function set totalProgress(value:Number):void
{
myLeftHand.value = 1;
}
*/
// private function myLeftHand():void
private function myLeftHand(e:Event=null):void
{
if (e.target.currentFrame == 10) { trace("yes") };
var mcHandInstance2:mcHand = new mcHand();
addChild(mcHandInstance2);
mcHandInstance2.x = 800;
mcHandInstance2.y = 200;
// if (e.target.currentFrame == 40) TweenMax.to(mcHandInstance2, 2,
{x:200, startAt:{totalProgress:1}}).reverse();
}
}
}
What I am trying to accomplish is to make the left hand start from the end
of the general "hand" instance movie and go backwards. Think of having your
two hands at waist height pointing outward, then you point inward, as if you
were pointing to your bellybutton. The hands are mirror images, and that is
what I'm trying to print. It's that final commented-out line I need to work.
Of course, I started out with the same declarations in my init() function
for both hands, but that didn't satisfy the tweenMax needs.

Did it. Didn't trace.
I'd also put a trace after myRightHand() call, just to make sure that the

That's a good idea. I changed it to this:
public function myRightHand():void
{
var mcHandInstance1:mcHand = new mcHand();
addChild(mcHandInstance1);
mcHandInstance1.x = 400;
mcHandInstance1.y = 200;
if (e.target.currentFrame == 10) { trace("yes") };
}
which naturally threw an error, because there is no declaration of "e". At
least that seemed to indicate that the code was executing all the way
through the class. Then I removed consecutively the "e" (got same error on
"target", as I assumed) and the "target", and much to my (naive) surprise
the command was totally ignored!
TIA,
