Hi all,

I am creating dynamic textfields into a MC using a for loop:  
for example:

for(i=0; i\<100; i++){  
createTextField(“data”+i, i+100, 10, 10, 100, 20);  
this[“data”+i].text="" //data fetched from XML file;  
}

Now I want to access the values inside these MC ie which are their in those text fields created. How can I access the same???

I am using attachmovie to get the MC on to the stage. Any help or suggesstion will be appreciated. Thanx in advance !!!

Regards  
Ash
