Try this instead and see what it comes up with:
var itemContainer:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("itemContainer",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
trace(itemContainer._name); // should be "itemContainer"
var subItem:MovieClip = itemContainer.createEmptyMovieClip("subItem",
itemContainer.getNextHighestDepth());
trace(subItem._name); // should be "subItem"
trace(subItem._parent._name); // should be "itemContainer"
It's a good idea to make variable names start with lowercase; the usual
code convention is that class names are initial caps, variable names are
lowercase with internal caps.
var classInstance:ClassName = new ClassName();
