I had to build a dynamic form from a database not so long ago. There is
a whole lot more to it but I have boiled it down to the basic
functionality. The form component itself (MyForm.as) connects to the

Hi.
I wrote a getChildById function for this purpose/use case...
I create the grid and its children dynamically at runtime and give the
DisplayObjects
numerical ids.
Its one thing you miss in flex if you're used to using getElementById in
javascript.
So... this is container specific... I have

Because the items are
Because the items are not in MXML its in actionscript which
dynamically creates the items for my form from a database and i want
to dynamically loop the text box's so i can then save the data back to
the database.
you cant refer to a ID since the components are created at runtime

That #1009 error means that it returned a null from the first line
because it couldn't find the child with that name. getChildByName is
not recursive so you need to be mindful of the nesting of your
requested object.
The following app has the functionality working as you need it, but it
Thanks a lot for the reply...
turns out i get an error 1009 when i try to something as simple as an
alert
var test:TextInput = TextInput(this.getChildByName("inputtext" + a));
Alert.show(test.text.toString());
