if(parent == [object mc1]) {

[blank01]

When I trace parent on the object I want I get "[object mc1]" -- how can I translate that ([object mc1]) into my if statement?

try to use the "name" property instead.. ?

trace( this.parent.name );

//and then

if (this.parent.name == "theName")
 // do something

Even better, compare the reference with another reference.

I think that you should read my first article.
