[Extendflash] library.selectItem() from library's root

[Nick Kaayk]

Doh!  My mistake... I had previously moved the instance off the
library's root and into a folder...

Hangs head in shame,

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 :)
