Hi

I’ve been doing the tutorial “Find and Select Dynamic Text” here - [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/find\_select\_text.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/find_select_text.htm)

this works with 1 text box, but I need it to continue searching in another text box after the first one. I have about 20 text boxes in total and it needs to search the 1st one and go on to the next.  
is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks 🙂
