If you are putting the sprite in an MC and then doing mc.name = "myName" it should then return the name of the mc. Sprite however does not have the name property.

So I changed the line which used getChildByName to getChildAt and entered the value "0" and now all works well. But why didn't getChildByName work? How can I find the name of the child?
