CreateTextField help...

Question

ok. im trying to get the data that is entered into the
created text fields and turn them into an Array.
for some reason it reads the text field varibles as the
variable name not the value of the text field.
anyone got any idea how to work this out?
the code:
word = "test_test";
amount = word.length;
letters = new Array();
for (x=0; x<amount; x++) {
xpos = 100;
xpos = xpos + x * 25;
createTextField("Box_"+ [x], x, xpos, 150, 20,20);
_root["Box_" + x].type = "input"
_root["Box_" + x].background=true;
_root["Box_" + x].border=true;
_root["Box_" + x].backgroundColor=0xFFFFFF;//white
_root["Box_" + x].borderColor=0x000000;//black
_root["Box_" + x].multiline=false;
_root["Box_" + x].wordWrap=false;
_root["Box_" + x].variable = "myText"+x
_root["Box_" + x].maxChars = 1;
_root["Box_" + x].tabEnabled = false;
btn.onPress = function(){
got = new Array(amount)
for(i=0; i<amount; i++){
got = "myText[" + i + "]";
trace(got);
}

Answer 1

well, that's what you tell it to do.
Why should it get the content when you set got =
"myText["+i+"]";?
You probably mean got = _root["myText"+x];
But what are all these variables for in the first place?
Couldn't you work with _root["Box_" + x].text?
Also, you never set _root["Box_" + x].text to the letters.
And you have typos. I hope only in the copy:
- you're missing a ";" after the variable = "myText"+x
- you're missing a } after the loop
- and it should be "Box_"+x, not "Box_"+[x] inside
createTextField("Box_"+ [x], x, xpos, 150, 20,20);
