Steve,
You have some things confused. Like Ross said, read up on event.target.
Your code should look something like this...
Var myMovieClip:MovieClip;
Var myButton:SimpleButton;
DrawMyStuffOnScreen();
Function DrawMyStuffOnScreen():void{
myMovieClip = new DefinedMovieClip();
myButton = new DefinedButton();
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,DoSomething);
//Defined Movie clip has several input fields in it
myMovieClip.TextField.text = "SomeText";
addChild(myMovieClip);
addChild(myButton);
}
Function DoSomething(e:MouseEvent):void{
//What goes in this function to be able to do something like
Trace(myMovieClip.TextField.text); // This show a complier error
of basically I don't know what myMovieClip is;
}
