Issue accessing movieclip inside window component

Hi,
First of all, i apologize for cross posting, I didn’t see the actionscript group when i initiallly posted in the Flash 8 group.

I’m having trouble accessing some components that reside inside of a movieclip that i’m displaying inside of a window component through the PopUpManager:


var my_MC = mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp(_root, mx.containers.Window, { title:"movieClip", contentPath:"my_MC", closeButton:true });

how can i access any components that exist within the linked movie clip in my library? i have two labels that I want to update but can’t figure out for the life of me how…

i’ve tried:


_root.my_MC.content.<label name>.text = "blah blah blah"

but no worky.

any help is appreciated
thank you.
