I have the following

trace(this);
// returns _level0.pattern.clip2.empty

how do I use substrings etc to obtain a variable with

_level0.pattern.clip2 ?

Got it

clipname = String(this);
clipnameNew = clipname.substring(0,clipname.lastIndexOf(".empty" ));

Better:
clipnameNew = this._name.substring(0,this._name.lastIndexOf(".em pty"));
