is this possible

[jonnew]

is it possible to create a textbox on the fly, assign a veriable name to it and drop all this into a while loop to make as many dynamic textboxes as required, using only action script, and if so where can i get the info to show me the way.:confused:
thanks in advance john.

Yup.

Creating textfields is a slight pain - because creating them doesn't return a reference.

So - you need to do something along these lines (i is some index variable, probably supplied by your loop):


myClip.createTextField("tempRef"+i, i, 0,0,100,100)
var myRef = myClip["tempRef"+i]

thanks for that
