In actionscript 2.0 i could reach textfield loacted in a movieclip. Suppose you have a movieclip with a instance name “ **mc** ”, and this mc contains two textfields with instance names of **a\_txt** and **b\_txt**. if you want to access these text with a loop you can use

```auto
 
for (var each in mc) {
trace(each);
mc[each].text = "foo";
}
//Output will be a_txt, b_txt.

```

But if you do the same in actionscript 3.0, in output window nothing appears. Why?

Thank you in advance.
