I want to trace the name of the point the mouse is over… But it keeps tracing: Target19…?  
What am I doing wrong? Why can’t it trace the name of array object?

```auto

var bWidth:Number = stage.stageWidth;
var bHeight:Number = stage.stageHeight;

var grid:Number = 20; // Size of the grid and number of lattice points in each direction
var dotsWide:Number = Math.ceil(bWidth/grid) - 1;
var dotsHigh:Number = Math.ceil(bHeight/grid) - 1;

var board:Sprite = new Sprite();
var shape1:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

addChild(shape1);
stage.addChild(board);

var hitArray:Array = new Array();
for (var k:int = 0; k < 20; k++) {
    hitArray[k] = new MovieClip();
    hitArray[k].name = "target" + k;
    addChild(hitArray[k]);
    for (var i=1; i<=dotsHigh; i++) {
        for (var j=1; j<=dotsWide; j++) {
            hitArray[k].graphics.beginFill(0x333333,1); 
            hitArray[k].graphics.drawRect(j*grid,i*grid,3,3);     
            hitArray[k].graphics.endFill();
        }
    }
}

for (var m:int=0; m<hitArray.length; m++) {

    hitArray[m].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, glow);

    function glow(e:MouseEvent):void {
        trace(e.target.name );
    }

}

```
