Just learning AS3.

Why doesn’t this work?

```auto

yesButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onTileClicked);
noButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onTileClicked);

function onTileClicked(e:MouseEvent):void {
    myText.text = e.target.name.toString();
    trace(e.target.name.toString());
}

```

it traces the name of the button, but I can never get anything to show in the textbox (myText).
