Yes, that is what you must do when instantiating components manually.
An option to the Array is an "associative array". An associative array
is essentially just an Object, and you choose a descriptive name for the
property name, and assign a reference to your created component to the
property value.
var private var _oDynVars:Object = new Object;
for(var o:uint = 0; o < NumText; o++)
{
....
curItem = "sTextInput"+ o.toString();
oDynVars[curItem] = new TextInput();
....
}
You can now reference those TextInputs like this:
var tiCurrent:TextInput = oDynVars[sTextInput1"];
Of course, this would be more useful if you had a descriptive name you
could use, like "FirstName", "LastName", etc.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: create looping component programmatically
create an array property textInputs to hold the references to the
dynamically create TextInputs. Then use code like this:
for(var o:uint = 0; o < NumText; o++)
{
textInputs[o] = new TextInput();
textInputs[o].width=356,
textInputs[o].text="Text Goes Here";
someComponent.addChild(textInputs[o]);
}
You can then refer to a particular textInput as textInputs[n]
You need to do the addChild to actually add the TextInputs to the user
interface.
