Delete TextField instances

1

hi guys,

I am creating this layout where texFields are dynamically placed according to some variable.


function displayHeadlines():void {
	var j:Number =13;
	var i:int;
	var headlineText:TextField;
	for (i= 0; i<3; i++) {
		headlineText = new TextField();
		headlineText.textColor = 0xFFFFFF;
		headlineText.x = 420;
		headlineText.y = j;
		headlineText.width = 156;
		headlineText.height = 68;
		headlineText.text = "something";
		trace("added button" + j);
		j = j + headlineText.height+8;
		addChild(headlineText);
	}
}
function removeHeadlines():void{
//What would that be? I've tried everything I could find, didn't find much
//I've tried 
//	removeChild(headlineText);
// but this only removes the last child on the loop, how can i remove them all?

}

displayHeadlines();

}

Is there a way where I can actually add those textFields in a Sprite maybe, that I can add or clear()?

pls help,

thx
