Hi all, im trying to build something but im cant… :puzzle:

## This is the part that works:

Everytime I press a button, my function duplicate’s my MC and give’s it a new name (artikel1, artikel2, arikel3…)

* * *

This MC contains a dynamic textfield called “tekst”.  
Now I want my function to change that textfield for every new duplicated mc  
something like this (mc1, mc2, mc3…)  
And thats the problem! I cant access the tekstfield from outside the mc ! ☹

i tryed something like this and manny more but nothing happend :

* * *

artikel1.tekst = “mc” + i;

* * *

can someone please help me with this ? 🙂
