Modify dynamic text box inside a MovieClip from AS3

1

Hello,

i’m struggling with the following, i’m building an xml based flash menu. For the buttons I used a MovieClip ‘mainMenuItem’ that contains the MovieClips ‘MenuBackground’, ‘menuBlueLine’ and ‘menuText’, all of them with the exported for AS and export in frame 1 checked.

in the following code i am trying to get the text of an array into the dynamically build menu.


var menuHoogte:int=34;
var menuY:int=0;
var menuArray:Array=new Array();
menuArray[0]="item1";
menuArray[1]="item2";
menuArray[2]="item3";
menuArray[3]="item4";
menuArray[4]="item5";

function parseMenu():void {
	//----------------------
	for (var i:int=0; i<menuArray.length; i++) {

		var newMainMenuItem:mainMenuItems = new mainMenuItems();
		newMainMenuItem.x=0;
		newMainMenuItem.y=menuY;
		var newBlueLine:menuBlueLine = new menuBlueLine();
		var newLabel:menuText=new menuText();
		var labelText:String=menuArray*;
		newLabel.text=labelText;
		trace("labeltext: "+labelText);
		this.addChild(newMainMenuItem);
		this.addChild(newLabel);
		menuY+=menuHoogte;
	}//for(var i:int=0; i<menuArray.length; i++)
}
parseMenu();

The newMainMenuItem appears as it should, 5 times but the labels are empty.

can anyone help please?

thanks

Marco
