clipnames into textedit

Is it possible to get the clipname of a clip when played into a textedit object?
eg.
when i press play on a random clip in ableton, the name of that clip would automatically be put in to a textedit?
Is it possible? If so, can someone put me in the right direction?
I'm still learning max from the beginning and i'm not really experienced

you have to observe on each track which clip is currently playing

get the id of every track, observe the currently playing clip on that track, and get the name of that currently playing clip

i hope that works, X is the track number you want to watch which clip is launched, if you want to observe all tracks, paste that above code*64 and change X respectively
and then just merge all outputs from the 64* [route name] objects into A SINGLE textedit: so the last triggered clip name will be shown in textedit box
