Hi guys, i hope someone can help me out.

I have 3 dynamic textfields that are added to the stage through an external class, (I only add the main container from the Main.as) the textfields are nested under 5 MCs (that’s what i see when i list objects in the debugger) how can i access those textfield from the Main document class?

I’ve tried by path, by getchildbyname, i’ve exported the font for AS (the textfields have instance names)… and nothing works, i either get an error or it tells me it has no properties, or null…

The textfields are meant to appear in several places, but i need to change the text on them, and I’m a bit stuck with this, so i would appreciate some help.

Thanks in advance, B.
