inputField is a "property" of the object/movieclip it was created in.
chat_input is the physical existance of the movieclip you're referencing with inputField. It doesn't seem retarded to me. You *may* want that separation for a reason some day down the line. I personally name then the same thing when it's referenced localy (in the same object): var inputField:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("inputField", this.getNextHighestDepth()); createEmptyMovieClip returns a MovieClip reference for you to use. Imagine if you created that movieclip in some other timeline/MovieClip. With that returned reference, you wouldn't really care where the movieclip lived, just as long as you had a reference to it. hth,
