Hi.

I’m interested to create textFields dynamically, but I don’t know how to make this code working, can someone please help me to understand what do I have to put in my code at line 4 in the brackets ?? in order it to work.

btw: if the variable “losingdate” in my code is achieved from asp file, is this line: this.New1.text = losingdate; is a valid thing to do ??

for(i=1; i \< 5; i++) {  
this.createTextField(“New” + i, this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0 , 0, 100, 20);  
this.New1.border = true;  
this.(New+i).text = losingdate;  
???  
}  
Thanks alot.

```auto
for(i=1; i < 5; i++) {
this.createTextField("New" + i, this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0 , 0, 100, 20);
this.New1.border = true;
this["New"+i].text = losingdate;
}

```

Here you go 😉
