Ok - so I make an object I call a “dot” using this method:

**myDot = new hitDot(stageMC, “Zeus”, 300, 300); //makes a dot**

**trace(myDot.myMC.\_name);**

and this properly traces the name “Zeus.” Works perfect.

Now, when I put my dots into an array:

\*\*for(var i:Number = 0; i \< 30; i++){

hitPoint\* = new hitDot(stageMC, “Zeus” + i , (i\*20), (i \* 30));\*\*

**}**

and ask for the name:

**trace(hitPoint[5].myMC.\_name);**

it returns “undefined.” Any idea why? All 30 dots are created perfectly the way that I want them - but for some reason the name of the movie clip is not being saved in my array.
