Considering how display lists have changed between AS 2 and AS 3, I doubt
this is going to be really useful, but perhaps for tracing out a path, it
could the job.
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
function getFullPath(dpo:DisplayObject):String{
var path:Array = [];
while(dpo.parent) {
path.unshift(dpo.name);
dpo = dpo.parent;
}
return path.joint(".");
}
PS: I don't know if there's a builtin method for this.
