Hey guys and gals!

Do you remember in AS2 you can do something that looks like this…

```auto

for(var i:int = 0; i<5; i++){
// i have 5 textfields named myTextfield1, myTextfield2...
//and i want those textfields to show myArray's value correspondingly
    myTextField*.text = myArray*;
}

```

So my question is how do I write  
_myTextField.text = myArray_;\*\*  
in AS3? and what is that called?

Thanks!
