Hey All. I hope this question is not lame, but I am trying to get the name of my sound obj to print. Here is an example:

on (release) {  
mySound = new Sound();  
mySound.attachSound(“DaMusic”);  
mySound.start();  
}

Now I want to print the name into a text feild with a var name of NAME. Does anyone know how to do this? I have tried all the following:

NAME = \_root.mySound.name;  
NAME = \_root.mySound.\_name;  
NAME = \_root.mySound;

none of them work ☹

Please help.
