Change text value of TextField on Stage

you're welcome.

i just tested it and it works without problem.

Oops sorry that was a silly mistake of not importing the package.

It worked... Thanks a lot for your help

do you need to use import flash.text.TextField in your class file?

@Raymond
Same error is coming

1119: Access of possibly undefined property text through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.

kglad i didn't get it. I have make it to work only after putting it inside MC in library and then attaching it. but if the textfied is on Stage it is not working

then you should be extending the movieclip class.

I simply use DocumentClass as Test and using this.getChildAt(0) returns the object of TextField on Stage.

how do you associate a textfield with Test?

Thanks i will try it.

It's a timing issue. Wait for the ADDED event to fire:

package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;

public class Test extends Sprite {

public function Test() {
trace(this.getChildAt(0).name);
addEventListener(Event.ADDED, addedHandler);
}
public function addedHandler(event.Event) {
this.getChildAt(0).text = "Nitin";
}
}
}
