hi

i need script and some instructions how to:  
display my movie file\_name  
in example “movie-1.swf” or just “movie-1”  
inside of my movie-1.swf  
in the text field or something …

it is my movie own file name  
but not writen directly by me from keyboard  
but writen by script so if i change file name  
it will be updated automaticly in the movie  
after movie is reloaded  
so file movie-1.swf renamed to movie-2.swf  
will display text “movie-2swf” or just “movie-2”

thx

```auto

it = _root._url.split("/").reverse()[0].split(".")[0]
trace(it)

```
