yeah eka that seems to be a good solution but a bit resourceful depending
how deep the nested mcs are.

Surely there must be a native property or medoth to find the tree/path 
from

the mc to the stage...

This is driving mad...

For the moment you can test :

package
{

import flash.display.* ;

public class test extends Sprite
{

/**
 * Creates a new test instance.
 */
public function test()
{

var container:Sprite = new Sprite() ;

var container2:Sprite = new Sprite() ;
container2.graphics.beginFill(0xFF, 1) ;
container2.graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, 150) ;

addChild(container) ;
container.addChild(container2) ;

var target:String = getDisplayPathName(container2) ;

trace( target ) ;

}

static public function getDisplayPathName( display:DisplayObject
):String
{

var parents:Array = [] ;
var parent:* = display ;

while( true )
{
parents.push( parent.name ) ;
parent = parent.parent ;
if (parent.name == null)
{
break ;
}
}

parents.reverse() ;

return parents.join( . ) ;

}

}

but it's not the better solution lol

 Hi all,

 I am wondering how can I manage to find the path to where a MC belongs?

 in AS2 when you wanted the target to where the MC was all you had to do
 was
 to trace the movieclip instance. For instance cosider the following
 example:

 var mc:MovieClip = this.attachMovie(something , something0 , 0);
 var mc = mc.something0.attachMovie(somethingelse , somethingelse0 ,
 0);
 trace(mc) // _level0.something0.somethingelse0


 In AS3 since everything is a class everytime I trace an object i get 
 its

 class name.

 So is there anyway of know the tree to where a mc belongs?

 thanks
 seb
