Get the object name out of the function variable

1

Hi guys,

How can I get the name out of the passed variable to the function?

for example:

drawArea(auto); //auto is a MovieClip();

private function drawArea(m:MovieClip):void {
   
   m.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000, 0.1);
   m.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, stage.stageWidth / 3, stage.stageHeight);
   m.graphics.endFill();
   
   addChild(m);

[COLOR=#FF0000]// how to get the tracer to output: "auto"[/COLOR]

   m.buttonMode = true;
   m.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clicked);
}
