Access separate textfield spread over timeline, better way?

Is there a more elegant way to access different textfields spread over a timeline than the example I have below?

I have a timeline with many different textfields that is non-present in most other frames. They occupy a frame here and there. I can’t just access them from the mc holding them, so I step one frame at a time, trying to find the correct textfield.

Is there a better way? more direct? (no, not create them dynamically…)

for(var i=0;i<arr.length;i++)    {
        for(var j=0;j<textFields.totalFrames;j++)
        {
            try{
                var txt:TextField = textFields["t"+(i+1)] as TextField;
            }catch(e:Error){
                trace("no textfield on this frame, trying next frame");
            }
            
            textFields.nextFrame();
        }
        textFields.gotoAndStop(1);
    }
