Rename all instances with their library names

When creating a new symbol for MovieClips and other instances you must give them a name a second time again in the Properties panel. For me this can be annoying sometimes. (I name my instances the name I plan to later identify them with actionscript.)

Here is a modification of the "findObjects" I posted earlier. This is handy if you are the type of person that names your symbol items with names you intend to use as their instance name as well.

Maybe you will find this useful or know improvements, either way let me know your thoughts.

 
/*========================================================================
selfNameAllInstances(true)
 
Renames all symbol instance names on the stage of in FLA document with
the symbol's library Name.
 
Instances that already have a name will be skipped...
If the argument "force_rename" is true, the element will be renamed
regardless if it already had a instance name or not.
 
The renaming process is recursive to each
for each MovieClip's timeline as well.
 
(Unfortunately symbols that are grouped are ignored.)
