Use "bracket notation". For instance: this["director" + i].text = "some text";
will work if there is a control with that concatenated id.

Is there a command similar to getElementById()? for (var i:int -0; i , myArray.length; i++) { "director" + [i] + ".text" = "some text"; } I have a number of text input controls all named like, director1, director2, director3, director4...
