How do I get Lingo to cough up the member name of a sprite?

i've tried:

put currentspritenum holding

put name of sprite holding

 

that gives me empty quotes.

 

i've tried:

put currentspritenum holding

put member of sprite holding

 

that gives me cast description such

(member 60 of castlib 1)

 

i need lingo tell me name of whichever cast member sprite - e.g. "snowman" or "soap" etc

 

this driving me nuts. please if can.

try:

put sprite(the currentspritenum).member.name
