I think if you replace 'set' with 'var', you should be in good shape.

Set is used like a function: set("variableName", _expression_);

Much like the setVariable function in coldfusionMX.

You can always press shift-F1 to go to the actionscript reference from the flash IDE. You can also highlight an actionscript function and press shift-F1 and if it recognizes it, will go to that part of the docs. (would be awesome if homesite did that for cf tags/functions - does anyone know if it does?)

FYI, this worked for me.

function traceMovieName(myObj) {
var myObjectName = myObj._name;
trace(myObjectName);
}

traceMovieName(testMovie);
