Hello all,

When I try to use the following code in Flash I get an error:

_root.("textfield"+textfieldcount).text = currenttext+newtext;

What I'm trying to do essentially is target the textfield called "textfield1" (where the number on the end is the variable "textfieldcount") and add more text to the end of whats already there.

I attempted to make the ("textfield"+textfieldcount) a variable, but instead of targeting the actual textfield with that instance name to perform the function on, Flash attempts to target the variable itself and not the textfield, resulting in nothing happening. If i simply replace ("textfield"+textfieldcount) with "textfield1" it works fine, but that doesnt help later when the textfieldcount variable is increased to 2 and beyond.

Is there a way I can structure the above statement to function how it is meant to?

Many thanks, Mj
