Hi. I’m new to ActionScript and I’m having trouble creating a navigational index for my company’s catalog. I’ve created 6 dynamic TextFields on the stage, given each of them a unique instance name (one, two, three, etc.) and have assigned to each of them the same eventListener and pageJump function via AS. My intent is to allow a user to jump to a specific page by clicking on the corresponding TextField. My question is how do I tell the function which TextField has been clicked? Nothing I’ve tried has worked thus far. If there’s a better way to go about this please let me know.  
Thanks!

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]var navList:Array = new Array(one,two,three,four,five,six);

function setFieldParam():void {  
var i:int = 0;  
while (i \< 6){  
navList\*.selectable = false;  
navList\*.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pageJump);  
navList\*.setTextFormat(normal);  
i++;  
}  
}

setFieldParam();

function pageJump(evt:MouseEvent):void {  
[/COLOR][SIZE=3][COLOR=Magenta]page = int(the text value of whichever TextField is clicked);[/COLOR][/SIZE][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]  
var imageRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(catalog[page]);  
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader ();  
imageLoader.load(imageRequest);  
addChild(imageLoader);  
imageLoader.x = 54;  
imageLoader.y = 15;  
buttonCtrl();  
setFieldParam();  
navStatus();  
}[/COLOR]
