Creating TextField

[ice78991]

I am using actionscript to generate a set of links at the top of my page. I am creating a movie clip which contains a textfield for the label.

I am using the following code but cannot create the textfield

trace(mc) shows the clip but trace(this["link"+i+"_txt"]); returns undefined.



for(var i:Number = 0; i< 3; i++)
{

var mc:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("link"+i+"_mc",i);
mc.createTextField("link"+i+"_txt",1,0,0);

trace(mc);
trace(this["link"+i+"_txt"]);
trace(mc["link"+i+"_txt"]);
}

for(var i:Number = 0; i< 3; i++)
    {

var mc:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("link"+i+"_mc",i);
mc.createTextField("links"+i+"_txt",this.getNextHighestDepth(),50*i,0,100,20);      
        trace(mc);
		mc["links"+i+"_txt"].text="bill"
   
                trace(mc["links"+i+"_txt"]);
    }
