I have 10 dynamic text fields on my stage named , xmlTxt1, xmlTxt2, xmlTxt3,etc.

I’d like to loop through and assign a fontsize attribute from an XML file to each dynamic text box.

I’d like to use a variable , myTextField = xmlTxt, and loop through adding 1 each time to xmlTxt to access the dynamic text field names.

Something like this:

var textFieldName = “xmlTxt”;  
myFormat=new TextFormat();  
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;  
for (i=0; i \< total; i++)  
{  
myFormat.size= Number(xmlNode.childNodes[1].attributes.fontsize); /\* set text field size from XML - no problems with this _/  
textFieldName.text=xmlNode.childNodes_.attributes.textCopy; /\* This is where it goes wrong. _/  
textFieldName.setTextFormat(myFormat);  
var textFieldName = “xmlTxt” + i;  
trace(textFieldName) /_ this shows variable is, xmlTxt1, xmlTxt2, etc. What’s wrong here? \*/  
}
