Hi Everybody,

I generally work with AS3 classes but havn’t tried class stuff in AS2 much. Now i need to work this out due to some AS2 project.  
I am trying to create a dynamic TextField in a Class and i want to add it on the stage and access it from all functions as well.  
What i am tying is this:

[AS]class ABC extends TextField  
{

```
		public static var loaded_txt:TextField; = new TextField();

		function ABC()
		{

		}
		

		function test()
		{
			loaded_txt.text = "Some Text";	
		}

```

}[/AS]

I need loaded\_txt to be added on the tage. I can’t use “createTextField” as that can be done only inside a function and then it will become local but i need it global. How can that be done.Any ideas please?

Thanks!
