Can access textfield object in a movieclip

programming flash
1

I’m stunned as to why I cant access the textfield object placed inside a movieClip object. I’m doing this in a subclass as so:
I gave the movieClip an instance name of “myMC” and the

package {
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.text.TextFormatAlign;
    import flash.text.TextFieldType;
    import flash.text.TextField;

    public class makeText extends MovieClip {
        public var myMc:MovieClip; 
        public var mytext :TextField; 
        
        public function makeText () {

            myMc= new MovieClip(); 
            myMc.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 300, 340);
            myMc.name="myMc";
            this.addChild(myMc);
            
            mytext = new TextField(); 
            mytext .htmlText="Testing";
            mytext .name="mytext ";
            myMc.addChild(mytext );
        }
    }
}

In my main document class I added this object as “maketext.”

These work as should:
trace(maketext.myMc) returns: “[object MovieClip]”
trace(maketext.MyMc.name) returns: “myMc”

Problem:
But trace(maketext.MyMc.mytext ) returns: “undefined”

I need to populate the textfield mytext inside the movieClip. How can I do that. Please help!
