I got stuck on the most basic things ever instead of being productive. Am going insane!!!

It keeps creating my textField on the main background!!! i want it inside the movieClip so i can use the mc as a button later on.  
Here is my code, please guys i know its super easy but every once in a while this happens to me. The simple becomes super weirdly hard.

\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“MyButton”,100);  
MyButton.lineStyle(0,0xffffff,100);  
MyButton.moveTo(200,200);  
MyButton.lineTo(265,200);  
MyButton.lineTo(265,215);  
MyButton.lineTo(200,215);  
MyButton.lineTo(200,200);

\_root[“MyButton”].createTextField(“TextBox”,1,2,2,65,15);
