[AS2] - Appending to dynamic text field

It appears appendText() is usable only in AS3 which is unfortunate because I am working in AS2. In my animation, I have drawn a QWERTY keyboard with buttons and I’d like the user to click through these buttons to write a message. Is it possible to accomplish this with a dynamic text field in AS?

Might there be some method to read the contents of a textbox into a variable and then add the next clicked letter to it and rewrite it to the textbox or any other way this might be possible?


"myTestBox.text += " works just fine…can’t believe I didn’t try that until now.
