Dynamic textfield inside mulitple MCs...how do i change the color w/ AS on rollover?

I have a bunch of buttons that have a textfield in them that I dynamically change with code. When the site starts it gives each textfields its text. I want to change the text color of the textfield when the user rolls over and out of the movieclip buttons.

I’ve got an EventListener for MOUSE_OVER and I know it works I just don’t know how to target the textfield inside the movieclip when I’m using the same function for multiple buttons.

Here’s my code:


//--EventListeners
button1_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseIsDown);
button1_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseIsOver);
button1_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, mouseIsOut);
button2_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseIsDown);
button2_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseIsOver);
button2_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, mouseIsOut);

//--Functions
function mouseIsOver (event:MouseEvent) {
        //THIS IS WHERE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TARGET THE TEXTFIELD INSIDE THE MOVIECLIP THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING ROLLED OVER INSIDE THIS FUNCTION//
	this.button_txt.textColor = 0xFFFFFF;
}
function mouseIsOut (event:MouseEvent) {
        //THIS IS WHERE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TARGET THE TEXTFIELD INSIDE THE MOVIECLIP THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING ROLLED OUT OF INSIDE THIS FUNCTION//
	this.button_txt.textColor = 0xFFE8C9;
}

Heres a link to the site I’m working on so you can see what I’m doing:

I’ve wasted hours trying everything I can think of. :frowning: I had a very easy solution in AS2 but can’t for the life of me figure it out in AS3. I’m sure its just as easy in AS3, it’s just eluding me at the moment.

I would appreciate any help someone can give me.

Thanks
