```auto
myTextField.removeTextField();
```
Can only be used if the text field is created using _MovieClip.createTextField_

but it’s not working…:\*(
var characters:Array = new String(“two roads diverged in a yellow wood and sorry i could not travel both”).split("");
this.createTextField(“txt”, 1, 10, 260, 515, 22);
txt.border = true;
txt.background = true;
Key.addListener(txt);
txt.onChanged = function():Void {
Ferrari.\_x += 6.3;
};
txt.onKeyDown = function():Void {
if (String.fromCharCode(Key.getCode()).toLowerCase() == characters[txt.length].toLowerCase()) {
this.text += String.fromCharCode(Key.getCode());
this.onChanged();
}
if(txt.length \>= 69) {
gotoAndStop (“Scene 3”, 1);
}
}
that’s the code I used, does that make a difference?

nope, it should work fine. If you were to put this at the end it should work:
```auto
this.txt.removeTextField();
```
