Why isn’t this working? I trace “myNews”, it loads ok but the field myfield is undefined and i don’t understand why… can anyone help me?

[AS]  
onClipEvent (load) {  
loadText = new LoadVars();  
loadText.load(“TEXT.txt”);  
loadText.onLoad = function() {  
\_root.MCtexte.createTextField(“myfield”, 500, 15, 8, 387, 460);  
//trace(\_root.MCtexte.myfield);  
\_root.MCtexte.myfield.html = true;  
\_root.MCtexte.myfield.htmlText = this.myNews;  
\_root.MCtexte.myfield.condenseWhite = true;  
\_root.MCtexte.myfield.multiline = true;  
\_root.MCtexte.myfield.wordWrap = true;  
//trace(this.myNews)  
};  
}
