I am trying to learn flash and was playing with arrays to see how they work.  
I understand pretty much but my question is this. If I have a array linked to a  
dynamic text box and I give the text box a instance how do I get the or can I  
get the text box to move around the stage.  
numbers = [1, 2, 3];  
trace(numbers);  
newnum =(numbers[2]);  
trace(newnum);  
displayText = “newnum”;  
box.\_x += 5;

this is the code I was trying to use. I also attached the file. Thanks
