I’ve got a menu with 4 menu tabs:

\_level0.mcMenu  
\_level0.mcMenu.tab1  
\_level0.mcMenu.tab1.txtTab  
\_level0.mcMenu.tab2  
\_level0.mcMenu.tab2.txtTab  
\_level0.mcMenu.tab3  
\_level0.mcMenu.tab3.txtTab  
\_level0.mcMenu.tab4  
\_level0.mcMenu.tab4.txtTab

Now, how can I change the text format in a loop?

```auto

_global.myBlackBox = this;
for(i=1;i<=ttlTabs;i++){        
        format = new TextFormat();
        format.color=0xFF0000;//0x456874;
        [COLOR=Red]myBlackBox.mcMenu.eval["tab"+i].txtTab.setTextFormat(format);[/COLOR]
}

```
