I need to be able to set a property of the 3rd textfield created within this for loop:

```auto

    for (var i:int = 0; i < menuArray.length; i++) {
        menuText = new TextField;
        menuText.name = "navBttn_" + i;
        menuText.x = xCoord;
        menuText.y = (i * 20) + yCoord;
        //
        menuText.text = menuArray*;
        //
        addChild(menuText);
        //
        menuText.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, MainRollOver);
        menuText.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, MainRollOut);
        menuText.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMainSelectItem);
        
    }
    //Change property of 3rd textfield here

```

What’s the best way to target that object?
