Re: [Flashcoders] targeting mc

whats the basic structure? is there an MC named "details", and within that is the MC you're trying to target? the concatenation of "details"+ e.currentTarget.name seems bizarre, since you're taking an already existing name and then modifying the name by adding "details" on the front. .m On Fri,

RE: [Flashcoders] targeting mc

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
