toString() is a method of the Object class and it doesn't have any arguments. So while every object in Flash has a toString method, by default it returns "[object Object]". From your code it looks like what you're actually doing is calling this.toString(), you probably want to do something like myStr:String = aArray[i].toString(); but that still might not give you what you're looking for. If the items in the array are references to movieclips and you want the instance names of those clips, you should try aArray[i]._name (AS2) or aArray[i].name (AS3)
