I think it is a matter of scope.... the mc I am trying to affect (this["details"+e.currentTarget.name]) is a texfield created in a function - so I am guessing it is not accesible outside of that function... there are multiple instances of these textfields... they are created in a loop like:
var barDetails:new TextField(); ...... barDetails.name=.....; addChild(barDetails); I even tried taking the var barDetails:new TextField(); otside of the function, but I get the same error.... _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
