Hi,  
if we have a code like  
var forumpanel:Panel=new Panel();

And in the later part of the code i want to push the name of that panel to an array the i am using

samplearr.push(forumpanel.name);

But the actual name is not getting stored into the array and it is taking something like “Panel1704”

So how can i get the original name into the array.

-Thanks
