Unable to modify a child TextField

1

Hi,

Okay i know this sounds like a real stupid problem, but i have been trying to figure it out for quite a while and is unable to…

I have a TextField Object added as a child in one of my Classes (which extends MovieClip). After adding it to the class, I am unable to modify the text value of it…

can any one help me out here?



var myClass:MyClass = new MyClass();
var fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
var tf:TextField = new TextField();

fmt.font = "EmbedFont";
fmt.size = 8;
fmt.color = 0x333333;

tf.embedFont = true;
tf.text = "Lorem";
tf.antiAliasType =  AntiAliasType.NORMAL;
tf.type = TextFieldType.DYNAMIC;
tf.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
tf.name = "myTxt";

tf.setTextFormat(fmt);

myClass.addChild(tf);
addChild(myClass);

// Somewhere else in the script i havhe this line.. but it just does not WORK!!!! WHY!!!

myClass.getChildByName("myTxt").text = "Ipsum";
