Dynamic text disappearing

programming flash

Hellos

If any kind soul can, pls help me with this, it would be great: I added an empty movie clip called mc to _level0 at runtime. Then within this for loop I dynamically added textfields. This part works fine.

Problem: When I click through the textfields, sometimes the text just disappears. I’ve tried doing a trace, and the actual values are in the text field, they just aren’t visible. I’ve seen a lot of posts with similar problems around the net, but not quite sure what solves the problem. Am I missing something obvious?

 
for (i = 1; i <= total_photos ; i++)
{
  //create text boxes
 s = "p" + i;
 var sTime = eval("myEvents.time" + i)
 
 dStDate = getStartDate(iMode);
 dEndDate = getEndDate(iMode);
 dShowDate = getShowDate(sTime);
 if (dStDate <= dShowDate && dShowDate <= dEndDate){
  j = j + 1;
  if (j==1){
   txtName.text = eval("myEvents.caption" + i);
   txtDescr.text = eval("myEvents.descr" + i);
   txtTime.text = eval("myEvents.time" + i);
   imgMC.loadMovie(folderName + s + ".gif");
  }
  yPos = 20 * (j-1) + 10;
  _level0.mc.createTextField(s, 20 + i, 5, yPos, 240, 16);
  _level0.mc[s].type = "dynamic";
  _level0.mc[s].selectable = true;
  _level0.mc[s].multiline = true;
  _level0.mc[s].embedFonts = true;
  _level0.mc[s].antiAliasType = "advanced";
  _level0.mc[s].textColor = 0x7D7171;
  _level0.mc[s].text = eval("myEvents.caption" + i);
  if ((j & 1) == 0){
   _level0.mc[s].background = true;
   _level0.mc[s].backgroundColor = 0xE0DCDC;
  }
  else{
   _level0.mc[s].background = false;
  }
  _level0.mc[s].setTextFormat(text_fmt);
  _level0.mc[s].setNewTextFormat(text_fmt);
  _level0.mc[s].onSetFocus = function()
  {
   sName = this._name;
   iLen = sName.length;
   iNum = sName.substr(1, iLen-1);
   txtName.text = eval("myEvents.caption" + iNum);
   txtDescr.text = eval("myEvents.descr" + iNum);
   txtTime.text = eval("myEvents.time" + iNum);
   current_photo = folderName + sName + ".gif";
   imgMC.loadMovie(current_photo);
   imgMC._x = 220 + (320 - imgMC._width)/2;
   this.background = true;
   this.backgroundColor = 0xffffff;
  }
  _level0.mc[s].onRelease = function()
  {
   stext = this.text;
   this.text = stext;
  }
  _level0.mc[s].onKillFocus = function()
  {
   sName = this._name;
   iNum = sName.substr(1, sName.length-1);
   if ((iNum & 1) == 0){
    this.background = true;
    this.backgroundColor = 0xE0DCDC;
   }
   else{
    this.background = false;
   }
  }
 }
}
_level0.mc._height = (j+1) * 20;
};
