Looks like you´ve created the textfields on the same level. Create the fields like this instead: _root.createTextField("mytext"+[i], this.getNextHighestDepth(), myX, 0, 100, 30);

Hi guys, I want to create as many text fields (which eventually I would like to turn into buttons) as the length of an array. I also want to use the content of the array to populate the text of the fields created dynamically. I have tried everything I know but ....all I seem to get is one filed with the lasat item in the array, sheesh! I've gone absolutely mad on this one (newish to actionScript, I am!) but can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here? I could do with a helping hand or seven =:-) var myTxt:Array = new Array("branding", "news", "about us", "print", "marks", "contact"); var myX = 430; var menuArray:Array = new Array(); var ySpacing:Number = 90; // /*****************create textFields**********************/ // // for(i=0; i<myTxt.length; i++) { _root.createTextField("mytext"+[i], 1, myX, 0, 100, 30); myId = _root["mytext"+[i]]; myId._y = ySpacing; ySpacing += 40; // trace(myTxt[i]); //the trace works, it list all tyhe lements in the array but myId.text = myTxt[i]; // this one in not producing the appropriate results // myId.border = false; myformat = new TextFormat(); myformat.font = "Verdana"; myformat.size = 14; myformat.bold = true; myformat.color = 0x555555; myformat.align = "right"; // myId.selectable = false; myId.setTextFormat(myformat); //myId.text = myTxt[i]; //tried putting it at the end but no dah! // } _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
