Accessing children of dynamically added MC

1

ggrrrr. This is making me crazy.

function saveAction(evt:MouseEvent):void{
    var choice=evt.target.name;
    var inputText:String = saveName.text;
}

I have this and I am trying to make a variable from the contents of the input box. Simple ya? The issue is that it is a child of another clip that is being added dynamically, so it doesn’t think the input exists. How do I declare the input? How can I target it’s contents?

Also I have a remove function that is meant to remove this same parent clip.

function closeSaveWindow(evt:MouseEvent):void{
    removeChild(saver);
}

‘saver’ is a variable created in another function, so I think there is a scope issue there. To try to fix that I declared ‘saver’ as a movie clip as a global var.

help please!
