Just took a quick look, but I think that this line may be giving you
trouble:
myId = _root["mytext"+[i]];
You may want to try this instead:
var myId = _root.createTextField("mytext"+[i], 1, myX, 0, 100, 30);

Hi guys,
I want to create as many text fields (which eventually I would like
to turn into buttons) as the length of an array. I also want to use
the content of the array to populate the text of the fields created
dynamically. I have tried everything I know but ....all I seem to get
is one filed with the lasat item in the array, sheesh!
I've gone absolutely mad on this one (newish to actionScript, I am!)
but can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here? I could do with a
helping hand or seven =:-)
var myTxt:Array = new Array("branding", "news", "about us", "print",
"marks", "contact");
var myX = 430;
var menuArray:Array = new Array();
var ySpacing:Number = 90;
//
/*****************create textFields**********************/
//
//
for(i=0; i<myTxt.length; i++) {
_root.createTextField("mytext"+[i], 1, myX, 0, 100, 30);
myId = _root["mytext"+[i]];
myId._y = ySpacing;
ySpacing += 40;
//
trace(myTxt[i]); //the trace works, it list all tyhe
lements in the array but
myId.text = myTxt[i]; // this one in not producing the
appropriate
results
//
myId.border = false;
myformat = new TextFormat();
myformat.font = "Verdana";
myformat.size = 14;
myformat.bold = true;
myformat.color = 0x555555;
myformat.align = "right";
//
myId.selectable = false;
myId.setTextFormat(myformat);
//myId.text = myTxt[i]; //tried putting it at the end but no
dah!
//
}
