You don't have to set it, just use the property _name.

Not sure what your function looks like, but it sounds like _target 
might a more useful variable ... or if you want to bring a duplicated 
movie clip to the front, and you have set the level of a series of 
movie clips with a variable current_level, try

on (press) {
   this.swapDepths(_parent.current_level);
}
