It's nothing to do with the fact that it's in an array. toString() always
gives [Object object] for movieClips. Try it: make a vanilla movie, put in a
single movieclip called 'wossname' then put 'trace(wossName.toString()' in
the first frame.
If you want to get its name, put aArray[i]._name, as suggested previously.
