Addressing a textfield

programming flash
1

I have six textfields inside a clip, named digit_1 to digit_6.

The path to the first textfield would be:

_root.mcContainer.digit_1;

How can I dynamically address these fields if I only know the number (ie. 1 to 6)? I’ve tried this:

eval("_root.mcContainer.digit_" + number) = "value";

But to no avail. Please help…

I think it is the other brackets:
eval[“root.mcContainer.digit” + number] = “value”;

Nope. But I found another way to get it right… Instead of using the textfield as a variable, I gave it an instancename and addressed that, like this:


eval("_root.mcContainer.digit_" + number).text = "value";
