Does anyone know how to give you custom made spell a script name so that I can use it in a cutscene. I am truly stuck on how to do this.

If it's for BG2, I would say don't bother. ToB features scripting commands that allow you to use the filename of the spell; these commands can be added and used in SoA installs.

APPEND ~ACTION.IDS~ // adds ToB scripting commands if SoA-only install
~31 SpellRES(S:RES*,O:Target*) 
95 SpellPointRES(S:RES*,P:Target*) 
113 ForceSpellRES(S:RES*,O:Target) 
114 ForceSpellPointRES(S:RES*,P:Target) 
160 ApplySpellRES(S:RES*,O:Target) 
181 ReallyForceSpellRES(S:RES*,O:Target) 
191 SpellNoDecRES(S:RES*,O:Target*) 
192 SpellPointNoDecRES(S:RES*,P:Target*) 
240 ReallyForceSpellDeadRES(S:RES*,O:Target) 
318 ForceSpellRangeRES(S:RES*,O:Target) 
319 ForceSpellPointRangeRES(S:RES*,P:Target) 
337 ReallyForceSpellPointRES(S:RES*,P:Target*)~
   UNLESS ~SpellRES(S:RES*,O:Target*)~
   UNLESS ~25POST~

All of the various RES commands will accept the filename of the spell, rather than the scripting name.

The only issue about the RES actions (it might have been mentioned before), is that there is no RES action for several triggers that use spells. ie. SpellCast(object,spell), SpellCastOnMe(object,spell), etc.

I believe Sim's Scripting Guidecovers this.
