Try this instead, this is how I would do it (you have a few screwy
things in the code you posted, too many to bother commenting on :) ):
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip
import flash.text.*;
public class DataCard extends MovieClip
{
public function set name(value:String):void
{
theTextField.text = value;
}
}
}
And in the .fla with the clip's class set to DataCard:
var dc:DataCard = new DataCard();
dc.name = "Hello";
