The following code are used to generate textboxes, but I couldn’t find a way to remove them, I tried removeChild but it did not work out. all help appreaciated.


 
for (var i:uint=2; i<colum; i++) {
    textBoxArray* =new Array();
    for (var j:uint=3; j<row; j++) {
     textBox = new TextField();
     textBox.x = (textBox.width-70)* j;
     textBox.y = (textBox.height-70)* i;
     textBoxArray*[j]=textBox;
     addChild(textBox);
    }
   }
