I have an file with one movieclip in it. I have a document class and sub class

. If I have a tlf text field in the movie clip and trace this.stage in the doc class t

he stage is null. If convert the text to classic text the stage reference is no longer null. What's the fix for using tlf text fields and keeping my stage reference?

that's a flash bug.  i'm not sure there's a work-around.

use google and you'll see others noting the same issue.

So basically you cannot use the tlf is you're going to ever reference the stage?

I can't find anything on google, not sure I'm searching the correct phrase...
