I need the dynamic created MC to have a standard name, so that I could target its type (MC / TextField) when its inside a MC holder.
But at the same time, I would like it to have a unique name of its on (random numbers) so that I could know which one I should be targeting correctly.

Exp:
objectMC.name=”object”
objectMC.name2=”3480945″

At first I was thinking of using name like “object_3480945” with the combination of name and numbers, but then I find it hard to target the object when I just need to use getChildByName to target the type of the object among the others, instead of a specific 1.

Is there anyway to work around this?

    flash.utils.getQualifiedClassName() will give you the class name of any given object. You might want to check that out before going further down the route you’re going.

    That said, since MovieClip is a dynamic class, you can assign new properties to its objects at runtime as needed.

    mc.typeName = 'object';//use the typeName property to get its type.
mc.name = '3480945'; //for getChildByName
