Well I would like to say hello to everyone and the last time I did actual coding was four years ago for two years or so. I guess I’m going back onto it. I’m been reading the forums for about a month now, thanks for everyone for all the post, even though you guys don’t know me.
It’s quite simple but seems like it doesn’t work
[AS]
d =1;
(“dataBox”+d).html = true;
(“dataBox”+d).htmlText = “testing”;
[/AS]
while this works
[AS]
dataBox1.html = true;
dataBox1.htmlText = “testing”;
[/AS]
It is possible to add a var into it?
Thanks in advance.

It would be this[“dataBox”+d] (assuming the textbox is in the same timeline as the script)

```auto
d =1;
eval("dataBox"+d).html = true;
eval("dataBox"+d).htmlText = "testing";
//
d =1;
this["dataBox"+d].html = true;
this["dataBox"+d].htmlText = "testing";
```
