Dear all,

I am still confused with all this new methods to handle objects in AS3. I was able to create a container for my movie clips and traverse it using “for in”. Now I want to create a list of all objects on stage which I put manually (no addChild) and find the name of the movieClip on the library, I mean the main object of those mc on stage. I tried using “for in” with stage object but it did not work.

Could you give a clue what I have to do, please?

Thanks in advance
