This should give you an idea...
var searchcanvasChildren:Array = searchcanvas.getChildren();
for(var i:int = 0 ; i < searchcanvasChildren.length ; i++)
{
if( searchcanvasChildren[i] is TextInput)
{
Alert.show(( searchcanvasChildren[i] as TextInput).id + ":" + (
searchcanvasChildren[i] as TextInput).text);
}
}

the actual textinput field. The only problem is I can't figure out how
to reference those textinputs now that they're created! I've searched
through a debug session and can't find the children anywhere, I've also
tried using getChildNameByText, and it always returns null.
