Thanks all for the feed back.I deeply appreciate it.
I revised my code so that:
c = c.createEmptyMovieClip("c", 1);
is now:
c = this.createEmptyMovieClip("c", 1);
and I now have this as well:
/*
//populate each movie clip with an empty text field
*/
sctnNm_array[0][1];
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;
I think I understand the issue with the lack of reference though I am
using Flash 8 Player w/ Flash 8, so
if I'm not misunderstanding is the problem here?:
for (k=0; k<sctnTxt_array.length;k++){
sctnNm_array[i][j].text = sctnTxt_array[k];
I'm still trying to figure this out, again thank you all for the tips
and any further advise
