get parent of e.target.name

[sbryner]

Hi,

How would you get the name of the parent of a movieclip? Any ideas? below is only some of the options I tried to trace.

function getParentName(e:MouseEvent):void{

     trace(e.target.parent.name);

     trace(parent(e.target));

     trace(this.parent(e.target.name));

// want it to trace round_mc

};

round_mc.delete_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, getParentName,false,0,true);

thanks for any help.

function getParentName(e:MouseEvent):void{

     trace(e.currentTarget.parent.name);

};

round_mc.delete_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, getParentName,false,0,true);
