I'm having an odd problem with dynamic text boxes and I've not been able to work it out.

I have multiple dynamic text boxes in a MC they are numbered 0 thru 33 using the name fa (so the first text box is fa0 and the next is fa1 and so on and so forth).

I put inate values in them with thier corisponding number so fa0 has a value of "00" and fa1 has a value of "01" and so on.

I have a for loop in the thrid frame of the MC that runs once the movie reaches that frame (by user selection i.e. the user can pick what frame they want to goto)

Now the for loop runs and changes the values in the dynamic text boxes (I used the flash debuger to check the values) but the text in dynamic text boxes does not appear even though it has a new value in it the text area of the dynmaic text box reamins blank.

The dynamic text boxes are refrenced with _root.flb["fa"+cnt] = (some data here); The values in the debug menu change but the text does not appear for some reason.

Anyone have any thoughts on what might be wrong would be greatly apprishated.

Actualy I was just wondering if anyone has run into this problem before my fla file is a tad sensative (and big) to post at the moment.

I have another MC that dose pretty much the same thing except values for its dynamic text boxes are set out side of it (also tried setting the values in the main time line and in other sense for this clip as well with the same results as described in my last post).
