I can't make it do that :(

If I have one in the root and one in a folder (both named "Symbol 1"), 
no matter what I have currently selected and no matter which symbol have 
been edited latest, Flash always selects the root one.

I understand your problem though I cannot recreate it, but if it does 
that, then you could create your own function running through 
library.items, compairing names, and ensuring there is no folder of the 
item. You still cannot select this item (as there is only one 
select-method and no selected-property of Item), but you can manipulate 
the Item-object.

Pretty annyoing, but possible :)
