Hi there I was hoping someone could help me.

I have a movie clip in the library with a linkage name ?myPdpBlock?; this
movie clip has a TextArea and a CheckBox in it. My question is why is it when I
use the code below to put 5 instances on the stage (instBlock0,
instBlock1...etc) when I debug the movie I can see all of the 5 instances in
the debugger window but the TextArea and CheckBox don?t appear inside each
instance even though they have instance names. I want to dynamically place any
number of my myPdpBlock movie clips on the stage then feed text into the
TextArea from a database.

Cheers.

var NumberOfPDPs:Number = 5;

var i:Number = 0;
for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
_root.contentMain.attachMovie("myPdpBlock", "instBlock"+i, i, {_y:i*50});
if (["instBlock"+i]._width == 0) {
break;
}
}

Hi there - thanks for the quick response. Yes I do get something on the stage:
5 instances of the movie clip from the library one after another. The problem
now is that I can't access the TextArea (or checkbox) that is on each of the 5
instances. In the debugger I can see:

_level0.contentMain.instBlock0
_level0.contentMain.instBlock1
_level0.contentMain.instBlock2
_level0.contentMain.instBlock3
_level0.contentMain.instBlock4

?but each of the above instances can't be expanded to view the TextArea (which
has an instance name of 'dueBy').

So visually it is fine I just can?t gain access to all of the TextAreas.

Someone in another forum mentioned that it has something to do with levels but
I thought levels were used if you are bringing in external SWFs. And besides if
it does have something to do with levels I don't know how to amend the code to
make things work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

what do you mean by "... can't access the textarea of checkbox"?

Sorry I'm not using the correct terminology.

Visually I can see the TextAreas and CheckBoxs on the stage but they don't
appear in the debugger.
So I'm left with 5 instances of a movie clip sitting on the stage (each with a
TextArea and CheckBox) but I have no way of dynamically entering text into the
TextAreas (or gathering info on whether or not a CheckBox has been checked).
