Hi Theodore
Have you tried it without the loop?
i=1;
_root.main_content[p_+i].setTextFormat(portNavOff);
_root.main_content[p_+i].text=hello world!;
also, have you put text in p_1 already? Because the order that Flash wants
is you setTextFormat on the text field, and then you put the text in
apart from the _root reference whichis never a good idea
check you lower-case / upper-case naming on your textfield
Flash will treat P_1 and p_1 as different fields.
in your loop your only mapping references to p_1, p_2, p_3 ... etc etc
and fields named P_1, P_2, P_3 ... etc will never be

In AS2 you could use broadcastMessage similar to the way you use
dispatchEvent in AS3, but you have to import the classes, set up the
listeners, and I think alter the prototype of the class broadcasting the
