How to give instance names to accordion children?

[MIXPOSURE]

Hi,

I need to target a list item that is nested within a mc which loads into an accordion component at runtime. The problem is that the clip is not given an instance name when loaded from the library so I am unable to target it with accordionMC.myListBox. I tried using it's linkage identifier but no go. Any help?

Thanks much.

hoping to find an answer to this too... I've got an accordion whose children are created at runtime based on an XML file...

i know the linkage identifier of the MC in the library that is loaded into each child, and i have a textArea component inside that MC, but i can't seem to add any text to the textArea once the children are created. driving me insane.

If you are creating the children using code then the instance name is the second parameter:
myAccordion.createChild(linkage_name, instance_name);

For example if I have a movieclip in the library with linkage name "textbox_mc" which contains a textbox with instance name "txt". I can set the text for the text box like this

myAccordion.createChild("textbox_mc","newTextbox_mc");

myAccordion.newTextbox_mc.txt.text = "New Text"


If you are setting the children through the properties panel then childNames are the instance names.
