Dynamically Pulling up MovieClip Location

Hey there,

I’ve got a question for you guys. Is there a way to dynamically pinpoint a movieclip location? For example, if I had a button tucked away in:

_root.opening.menu.buttonClip1.myButton

… is there a way to pull up this location using an ‘on(release)’ ? Demonstration:

onRelease() {
 _root.myVar = this._currentLocation;
}

// where 'this._currentLocation' = _root.opening.menu.buttonClip1.myButton

Thanks,
William
