TextFields don't have onRollOver events, but MovieClips do. So you'll
need to first create a MovieClip (like in your first question) and then
create the textField in it. Heres some example code:
var myMovieClip:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(myMovieClip_mc,
this.getNextHighestDepth());
trace(myMovieClip: + myMovieClip);
var myTextField:TextField =
myMovieClip.createTextField(myTextField_txt,
myMovieClip.getNextHighestDepth(), 100, 100, 300, 100);
trace(myTextField: +myTextField);
myTextField.text =test;
myMovieClip.onRollOver = function(){
myTextField.text = NEW TEXT;
}
In the code above 'this' would be your _root layer. Coding to _root is
generally considered a bad practice.
Hope that helps!

well, I have simplified everything. My only two little issues now
are:
1. my mouseover does not work to change the text's color.
2. i imported silkscreen bitmap font size 8 linkage for first
frame, and linked for actionscript. i named it mysilkscreen.
however, when i execute the movie, no errors but the font is just a
generic serif font now, any ideas? its tough when flash gives me no
errors.
here is the code:
_root.myRed = 0xFF;
_root.myLightGray = 0x99;
_root.myDarkGray = 0x353535;
_root.createTextField(mytext,1,100,100,300,100);
mytext.multiline = true;
mytext.wordWrap = true;
mytext.border = false;
menuFonts_Fmt = new TextFormat();
with(menuFonts_Fmt) {
color = myLightGray;
bullet = false;
underline = false;
font=mysilkscreen;
size = 8;
}
mytext.text = Writing;
mytext.setTextFormat(menuFonts_Fmt);
//
_root.mytext.onRollOver = function() {
_root.mytext.textColor = myDarkGray;
}
