If you have a weakness for kludgy solutions, try the 'getObjNames' function
below.
Otherwise: don't 'forget' the names of the objects: store the name in the
same object, as an additional property.
// 'don't try this at home!'
a = {someProp:'someValue'};
b = {someProp:'someOtherValue'};
c = a;
arr = [a, b];
// later, when we have 'forgotten' the names of the objects
for(var i=0, len=arr.length; i<len; i++){
trace(getObjNames(arr[i]) + ' - someProp: '+ arr[i].someProp);
// Output: c,a - someProp: someValue
// b - someProp: someOtherValue
}
// kludgy, poorly tested and a waste of processor cycles
function getObjNames(o:Object, timeline:MovieClip){
var names:Array;
var o2 = arguments[1] ? arguments[1] : _level0;
if(!names){names = []}
for(var p in o2){
if(typeof(o2[p]) == 'object'){
if(o2[p] != o){
getObjName(o, o2[p]);
}else{
names.push(p);
}
}
}
return names;
}

Subject: [Flashcoders] getting the name of an object
hi,
this might be obvious but how do I get the name of an object? If I got an
object named fooObj how can I get Flash to for example trace out the name of
the object, so that it traces "fooObj"? I know this works with movieclips
but how about objects or arrays?
Sascha
