Hi, I am currently working on displaying some Patches in Animate.

Is there a way to controll multiple dynamic text fields with one line of code?

My example: 3 dynamic text fields with the instance name myText

and the according code snipped: this.myText.visible=false;

Unfortunaly only the first myText diapears.

Can someone help me how to let the other two texts disapear?

Correct answer ClayUUID

Specifically, never use the same name for multiple objects within the same object. For example:

NO, OF COURSE THIS WON'T WORK:

myClip.text1

myClip.text1

myClip.text1

WORKS FINE:

myClip1.text1

myClip2.text1

myClip3.text1

never use the same reference for different objects. ie, change your textfield names (eg, tf1, tf2 etc)
