Using target to get access to textfield

Question

I'm struggling trying to get the correct (assuming it's possible) syntax to get access to a textfield in a movieclip via a button also in the movieclip.
Here's the specifics:
var statue:MovieClip = new mcStatue;
In mcStatue is a button: btnStatue, and a textfield named Qty.
On a mouse click to the button I want to be able to add to the Qty textfield.
e.target.Qty.text = "x"
game me:  Property Qty not found on fl.controls.Button and there is no default value.
Is there a way to do this, or do I need to go after some kind of workaround?

Answer 1

if you used:
statue.btnStatue.addEventListener(etc..);
then use:
e.currentTarget.parent.Qty.text="x";
p.s.  you may need to cast e.currentTarget.parent as a movieclip:  MovieClip(e.currentTarget.parent).Qty.text="x";
