I am working on an application where a user can select a movieclip that has been dynamically placed on the stage and then choose Send to Front or Send to Back (compared to the other objects on the stage with it).
As part of this process I am renaming the instances using code that basically looks like this: setProperty(myMovieClip, _name, newMovieClipName);
Using the debugger I noticed something unusual. In the properties tab the _name property changes to the newMovieClipName value I am assigning it. But the target it shows remains unchanged (_level0.container_mc.myOldMovieClipName).
I think this is causing problems elsewhere when I try to target these movie clips. Does anyone know how to *completely *change an instance’s name, or is this just the way it works? Any insights are appreciated.
