I have to make all the textfields on the stage selectable through actionscript.

Currently its a tedious task since there are more than 1000 files for which the textfields are to be made selectable:cry3:. All of these files get loaded in a main shell.fla.

Is there a way to write a script that would make all the textfields on the stage selectable???
