when i created a character model for my game, I created movie clips of all the body parts, put them together in the first of MANY character animations. My intentions were to create alternate frames on all the body part MCs for various appearances (customization). However, I never assigned any of the first MCs instance names, so I have no way of referring to them from the outside.
Is it possible to assign an instance name to every instance of an MC in the library, no matter how deeply nested?

Unfortunately I don't think so. You could use
for(var i in mc){
mc._name="blabla";
}
once they're on stage, but that would name things randomly. I think you're probably going to have to head in to each MC and do it manually :(
