Hi,  
I am trying to pull out the contents of an array (“category” in my case) and display it inside a textfield (“testText”). The elements of teh array should appear one after the other inside the textfield. I created a textField inside a movieclip and then was trying to animate the movieclip. But how do I change the contents of the text field? I tried something like the following, but the elements sweeps past so fast that only the last element of the array is visible.

this.onEnterFrame = function(){  
for(var i:Number=0; i\<category.length; i++){  
testMovie.testText.text = category\*;  
}  
};

Any help is appreciable. Thank You.  
Abi.
