Simple addressing question

programming flash
1

I have a sprite inside a sprite. This sprite also contains a text filed. The path FL spits out is as follows:

Movieclip: Bild=0 Ziel="_level0.captions.captionLine_32"
Text bearbeiten: Ziel="_level0.captions.captionLine_32.captionText" Variable= Sichtbar=true Text = <P ALIGN=“RIGHT”><FONT FACE=“BodyTextFont” SIZE=“8” COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACIN
G=“0” KERNING=“0”>captionLine_32</FONT></P>"

captions.getChildByName(“captionLine_32”).alpha=0

works like charm. The sprite will turn invisible. But if I want to address the text filed and change its content I don’t have any luck. Usually I did use eval() in the good old days to get to the text field. Never a problem. But thanks to ADOBE this doesn’t work anymore.

How do I need to alter the addressing to change the text?

I thought it would need to look like

captions.getChildByName(“captionLine_32”).captionText.text=“Changed!” or

captions.getChildByName(“captionLine_32”).getChildByName(captionText).text=“Changed!”.

But nothing works so far. I’m stuck

My text.as looks like that:

package {

import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.text.AntiAliasType;

public class BodyText extends Sprite {

        txt.embedFonts=true;
        txt.antiAliasType=AntiAliasType.NORMAL;
        txt.text=label;
        txt.setTextFormat( textFormatPassive );
        txt.selectable=false;
        txt.width=buttonSizeX;
        txt.height=buttonSizeY;
        txt.x=buttonPosX;

        addChild( txt );
        txt.name="captionText";
    }
}

}

HEEEEEELLP!
