Hi,

I am trying to create TextField Instances for a crossword puzzle in Flash through a loop and then address them later how do I do this. My Code:

for (var i=0, i\<lettersArray.length, i++) {  
var a:TextField = newTextField;  
//someformatting here like :a.x=i\*10; etc.  
addChild(a);  
}

now I want to say:

if (_specificTextbox_.text=correctAnswerLetterArray[_someIndexNumber_]){  
\_global.Points += 1}

Thanks in advance for looking at my post. :thumb:
