Can a movie detect what level it is on?

Question

Hello all:

I have a series of movie.swfs that are repeatedly looping in
at different levels and I am running into some trouble debugging
them and tracking what is going on. Is there a way that I can set
up a trace with a command that will spit out the number for the
level it is currently on? For example one loop through might run
the clip at level 400 while the next time through it would show up
on level 500. And I would like to figure out in my traces what
level it is on when it gives me certain variables.

Thank you in advance,
Garrett

To determine which level you are on, simply use:
trace(this);

as the String conversion of a movieclip will give a absolute path starting with _leveln.___

Or, if you want just the number:
trace(String(this).split('.')[0].slice(6));
