Have been out of the loop since yesterday, but again, some proper tracing
should knock this down.
Instead of tracing
trace("rfcClip: "+rfcClip+" - typeof("+typeof (rfcClip)+")");
(ick!)
do:
trace(this[rfcClip])
In your code, you have rfcClip as just a string, so no, it's not going to be a
movie clip until you do this[rfcClip] - which you should trace to see if its
resolving to an actual clip.
