You're right, of course. I wasn't thinking correctly. The MovieClip object has a toString() method which should return the name of the MovieClip Object. I guess I was specifically thinking about the v2 Components, which return "[object Object]" unless you also include the ._name property. Sorry for the confusion.

This isn't the behavior I see. Any time I trace a movie clip I get the clip's name (level0.foo.bar.whatever), not the generic object results. -Andy On 9/11/07, Hal Leonard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Try toString(aArray[i]._name) instead....
