Scope Basics

I have been running the following code in an attempt to set up an onEnterFrame event handler for the clip1 movie

createEmptyMovieClip("clip1",10);


clip1.onEnterFrame=getInfo();

function getInfo()
{
trace(this)
}

I was hoping to have the text "clip1" returned countless times to the output but instead I get "_level0 " returned only once.

How should I be setting up an onEnterFrame handler for clip1 which runs continuously and where 'this' refers to clip1

this.createEmptyMovieClip("clip1",10);

clip1.onEnterFrame=getInfo;

function getInfo()
{
trace(this)
}
