hey guys.  
what i have is a MC WHICH SCROLLS and makes random blocks it is all coded and i want it so every 50 it makes a text feild with the number it is.  
i have two main vars.  
**i** : the var which i use to give each block a number.  
for eg i do the code createNewMovie…“block”+i…etc.  
and the var;  
**ypos** : tells where to place the next block.

so as i said i want a text box with the number in it.  
i have this code atm(NOT working);

```auto

if (i == 50) {
    _root.map.createTextField("my_txt50", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, ypos-30, 20, 100);
    my_txt50.multiline = true;
    my_txt50.wordWrap = true;
    my_txt50.text = i;
    var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    my_fmt.color = 0x000000;
    my_fmt.bold = true;
    my_txt50.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
   }
   if (i == 100) {
    _root.map.createTextField("my_txt100", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, ypos-30, 20, 100);
    my_txt100.multiline = true;
    my_txt100.wordWrap = true;
    my_txt100.text = i;
    var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    my_fmt.color = 0x000000;
    my_fmt.bold = true;
    my_txt100.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
   }
   if (i == 200) {
    _root.map.createTextField("my_txt200", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, ypos-30, 20, 100);
    my_txt200.multiline = true;
    my_txt200.wordWrap = true;
    my_txt200.text = i;
    var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    my_fmt.color = 0x000000;
    my_fmt.bold = true;
    my_txt200.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
   }
   if (i == 150) {
    _root.map.createTextField("my_txt150", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, ypos-30, 20, 100);
    my_txt150.multiline = true;
    my_txt150.wordWrap = true;
    my_txt150.text = i;
    var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    my_fmt.color = 0x000000;
    my_fmt.bold = true;
    my_txt150.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
   }

```

although i would prefer something like this;

```auto

    _root.map.createTextField("my_txt"+i, _root.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, ypos-30, 20, 100);
    "my_txt"+i.multiline = true;
     "my_txt"+i.wordWrap = true;
     "my_txt"+i.text = i;
    var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    my_fmt.color = 0x000000;
    my_fmt.bold = true;
     "my_txt"+i.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
   }

```

or something similar to that, because we all know that won’t work

What does happen atm?  
it creates ALL the text boxes at block 200 (the last one).

any ideas?
