I have a button within a movie clip that passes an identifier to a function like so:
on (release)
{
_root.getname(this);
}
The function recieves “this” as “_level0.mc_main_menu.game0”
I want to treat the returned value as a string & get the value “game0” from it.
How do I do this?
Am I right in saying that “this” is an object, and I need to convert it to a string first?
p.s - in case your interested - the value “game0” matches an xml node & the function plays a movie clip which is populated by the node attributes.
