FLASH: escape a charater

[Daniel Guerrier]

I have a function that excepts a sting as a parameter.

I need to pass the path to a movieclip to the

function.

i.e _root.MC.clip


When I call the funtion ex: 

_root.function.clip("_root.MC.clip")


The dots and underscore are striped from the string. 

How do I escape the charters to keep from getting

striped.  I already tried putting a / before each .
