i am having a few movie clips laid on the stage. each of these movie clips has a different instance name. these instance name are the ones on the property inspector panel. these movie clips are exported for actionscript from the library and is based on a similar base class. these movie clips will automatically be declared as set in the publish settings.
however, now, when i want to refer to any one of these movieclips, in a way where i identify and compare it from an array of movieclips, the .name property of the movieclips is returning a different value as its instance name and i couldn’t compare using its name. and i guess this is because AS3 works differently from AS2.
what are some of work around in such a scenario?
thanks.
