textarea issues

[mobzilla]

when I create a textarea, I can set the text with this.text = "blah" but I can't set it with mytext.text = "blah". I must be missing something. I can create a button and in the "on (Press)" section I can add mytext.text = "blah" and it doesn't work there either. Is this a pathing issue?

if mytext is created on the maintimeline try:

_root.mytxt.text = "my Blah";

it all depends on where you place your code.
read thru the pathing tutorials. that will help you.
