flash actionscript: [quoted text, click to view]

Assuming you have 25 text boxes called textBox1 - textBox25

for (var i = 1; i <= 25; i++) {
trace(eval("textBox"+i).text);
}

I have 25 dynamic text boxes on my form labelled Block1 through Block25. I am
trying to cycle through these text boxes and output the text that they contain
using the code listed below.

The problem is that the output doesn't output the text that's in the text
boxes, it outputs "_level0.Block1" through "_level0.Block25".

How can I get it to output the text that's in the text box?


for (var i = 1; i <= 25; i++) {
var textBox = _root["Block" + i];
var position = textBox.text;
trace(position);
}

You may have to strong type you var to TextField to get it to work but there is
no need to place the information into a variable like that. The following code
would work too:

for (var i = 1; i <= 25; i++) {
trace(_root["Block" + i].text);
}
