I'm getting more and more intrigued, but at the same time I get a feeling this is just a matter of misunderstanding, anyway: 1: Open the source-movie, and copy the selected castMembers 2: Open the target movie (or create a new), and paste. I have not yet understood, how using more than one instance of the *application* can help you do this process faster or easier? I have only been able to see more hassle in any of the methods using "multi-instance". I must be not listening, or what? That said, I often use a "floating castLib" from the xtras menu, to transfer stuff around.
