Duplication dilemma

1

i shall straight away start off with the question.

Let us say I have a movie “a” with a textbox “b” whose variable I name as “label”.

Now when I create a duplicate movie , I want to change the text on the textbox “b” using the variable name “label”.

I have tried with the syntax
a[“label”] =“New Label” to change the text on the textbox, but that did not work!

I have also tried everything in the FLASH help but nothing WORKS!

To summarize, could you please tell me how I could change the text of a textbox on a duplicate movie clip (the original movie clip has a textbox )

please do reply with only the syntax for FLASH 5

bye

a is your original, you need to use the duplicate movie name

a.duplicateMovieClip(“a2”,1);
a2.label = “new label”;
