The problem here is, if the variable is not constructed as the property
of an object, then the name is not kept. For example:
class MyClass
{
public var pvar:String = "fine";
public function MyClass()
{
var lvar:String = "not fine";
tracethis(lvar);
tracethis(pvar);
}
}
While pvar will have its name somewhere in the instanced objects, the
lvar will not. This is because flash will drop the naming as its scope
is at the function level and so is not important.

Nothing heinously wrong. See other post for how I'd like to be able to
trace the original name of the variable for tracking purposes...
