It seems to me that probably item is a movie clip you're adding to the stage either on the timeline or in code. The code that runs in the part of the Class where you declare variables runs before the constructor. I don't understand why your string code would fail, as it isn't actually referencing this nonexistent item. However, it probably wouldn't do much for you for precisely this reason.

Why do you need to store this information in this form anyway, since you will at some point acquire a reference to item, which will contain those references at that time and you could just reference them directly?

If item is a class you made, or a movie clip which contains other MovieClips that you named "item_mc1",""item_mc1") etc.

you have to reference these movielicps with this.item_mc1 not item.item_mc1 from within the class.
