Hello, i need help with trying get flash to access the id below. I am trying to use one xml doc to have multiple dynamic text boxes in my flash populate the with correct id reference. If someone could show me an example of how i would do this it would be a great help, Thanks… I’ve read the Kirup tut, but could not find how i could get this to work…
