Trying again. The last message came through as blank. I'll try plain text:
I'm trying to build a custom display object in CS3 using AS2. I thought I'd use the TextArea component instead of TextFields that I usually use to take advantage of the css support, etc.
For each cell in my display I instantiate a custom component using attachMovie. The component contains two instances of TextArea called "ta_1" and "ta_2". I thought I'd be able to access ta_1.text and ta_2.text directly, since ta_1 and ta_2 should be instances of TextArea, but they are not. When I trace them out they are MovieClips. They have one property that I can find using "for in" called "label", which is not an instance of TextArea either, but which has all of the properties listed below, including "text". However, when I try to set the value of text, I don't see any result. What am I missing here? Thanks!
