I am trying to use a for loop to clear a bunch to textfields. The textfields were not created dynamically and they are inside of a movieclip named mcContentOnStage. I need help assigning the number to the textfield name.

```auto

for (var i:uint=2; i<=22; i++)
 {
  this.mcContentOnStage.txtField*.text="";
 }

```
