I have this extremely odd problem. OK to start off I have an MC in my library with the linkage identifier “Interface” and the AS2 class “Player” (both without “” of course). Now, my player class looks like this.

```auto

class Player extends MovieClip{
    //public

    //private

    //static

    //---Constructor---
    public function Player(Void){
        init();
    }

    private function init(Void):Void{
        trace("Initalized!");
        setMuteHandler();
    }

    private function setMuteHandler(Void):Void{
        trace(this.muted);
    }
}

```

[size=1]**Note:  
Muted is a mc within my Interface clip.**[/size]

Now if you look at the setMuteHandler method the trace doesn’t return the muted mc but it thinks I’m trying to access a property of that mc, anyone know how I can aliveate this issue. Using code like this works.

```auto

trace(this['muted']);

```

But that’s far too cumbersome and I’d like to just be able to do.

```auto

this.muted;

```
