createTextField()
Returns
TextField - Flash Player 8 returns a reference to the TextField object that
is created. Flash Player versions earlier than 8 return void.
If your using a player earlier then flash 8 then your problem is
createTextFeild does not return a reference to that newly created TextField
try this below
for (j=0; j<sctnTxt_array.length; j++) {
c.createTextField("sctnNmTxt"+j, j, 10, j*20, 100, 30);
sctnNm_array[i][j] = c["sctnNmTxt"+j]
sctnNm_array[i][j].autoSize = true;
sctnNm_array[i][j].border = true;
}

Subject: [Flashcoders] revised 5:34:18 PM EST Q: populating Text Fields
innested Array Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2006 01:19:10 -0500
Hello- I'm still having trouble trying to populating empty Text Fields
with another array of strings. I have looked through the archives with no
goal reaching luck. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

This is my revised code that although continues with no syntax errors, and
still does not show anything in the swf created
***this is the AS from the first frame of a test.fla > a section of a
class I'm trying to develop
//create a container called "c"
c = c.createEmptyMovieClip("c", 1);
