Reset all text fileds to ""

1

Another schoolboy grade question from me I’m afraid…

I just want to reset all text fields within a movie clip to “”.

I’ve got this;


            var child:TextField;
            for (var i:uint=0; i < thisMC.numChildren; i++){
                child = thisMC.getChildAt(i);
                child.text = "";
            }

But of course they aren’t all Text Objects so I get an error like;


Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Shape@39fa8c9 to flash.text.TextField.

Is there a way to just select children of a specific type maybe?

Thank you kind people!
