Trying again. The last message came through as blank. I'll try plain text:
I'm trying to build a custom display object in CS3 using AS2. I thought
I'd use the TextArea component instead of TextFields that I usually use
to take advantage of the css support, etc.
For each cell in my display I instantiate a custom component using
attachMovie. The component contains two instances of TextArea called
ta_1 and ta_2. I thought I'd be able to access ta_1.text and
ta_2.text directly, since ta_1 and ta_2 should be instances of TextArea,
but they are not. When I trace them out they are MovieClips. They have
one property that I can find using for in called label, which is not
an instance of TextArea either, but which has all of the properties
listed below, including text. However, when I try to set the value of
text, I don't see any result. What am I missing here? Thanks!
