[RESOLVED] Name property problem

[xPINKMERCEDESx]

Hello everyone...is there any known bugs with the .name property?

Check out my problem... I created a movieclip and added it to the stage via addchild. Here's the code:

var myChoice:choice=new choice();
myChoice.x=100.0;
myChoice.y=100.0;
myChoice.name="extravagant";
addChild(myChoice);
trace(myChoice.name);


the trace statement shows that myChoice name is in fact "extravagant". So is "extravagant" my instance name? I don't know, because when I try to use extravagant as the instance name for a button the compiler says extravagant is undefined.

Here's the complete code...


var myChoice:choice=new choice();
myChoice.x=100.0;
myChoice.y=100.0;
myChoice.name="extravagant";
addChild(myChoice);
trace(myChoice.name);

extravagant.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,move Safe,false,0,true);

function moveSafe(event:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("name change successful");

}

when I test movie, I'm getting this error:

1120: Access of undefined property extravagant.


Is this is a bug or it's me? as 3 is so strict and strange at times....

thanks...
