copied!<p>If you want the "complete path" like meddlingwithfire suggested in his comment on 3lionz's answer, then you can use a class I created that does it for you. The class is called DOPath(short for display object path). The following is an example of it being used to get the complete path of a display object:</p> <p><strong>Main.as</strong>(document class):</p> <pre><code>package { import com.example.display.DOPath; import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.events.Event; import flash.events.MouseEvent; public class Main extends Sprite { public function Main():void { if (stage) init(); else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init); }// end function private function init(e:Event = null):void { removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init); var container1:Sprite = new Sprite(); container1.name = "container1"; var container2:Sprite = new Sprite(); container2.name = "container2"; var square:Square = new Square(); square.name = "square"; square.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onSquareClick); addChild(container1); container1.addChild(container2); container2.addChild(square); }// end function private function onSquareClick(e:MouseEvent):void { var square:Square = e.target as Square; var doPath:DOPath = new DOPath(square); trace(doPath); // output: stage.root1.container1.container2.square }// end function }// end package }// end package import flash.display.Sprite; internal class Square extends Sprite { public function Square() { graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000); graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100); graphics.endFill(); }// end function }// end class </code></pre> <p><strong>DOPath.as</strong>:</p> <pre><code>package com.example.display { import flash.display.DisplayObject; import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer; import flash.display.Stage; public class DOPath { private var _parents:Vector.<DisplayObjectContainer>; private var _d:DisplayObject; public function DOPath(d:DisplayObject):void { _d = d; init(); }// end function private function init():void { _parents = new Vector.<DisplayObjectContainer>; pushParent(_d); }// end function private function pushParent(d:DisplayObject):void { if(d.parent) { _parents.push(d.parent); pushParent(d.parent); }// end if }// end function public function toString():String { var path:String = _d.name; for (var i:uint = 0; i < _parents.length; i++) { var name:String = (_parents[i] is Stage) ? "stage" : _parents[i].name; path = name + "." + path; }// end for return path; }// end function }// end class }// end package </code></pre>
