	this.createTextField("mytext"+i,2,-218,-47,200,16);	
	this.["mytext"+i].multiline = true;
	this.["mytext"+i].wordWrap = true;
	this.["mytext"+i].border = false;
	myformat = new TextFormat();
	myformat.font = "Verdana"
	myformat.color = 0xFFFFFF;
	myformat.bullet = false;
	myformat.size = 10;
	myformat.align = "right";
