for( ).....complicated..

[UsualSuspect]

ok, here's the deal...

I have 50 dynamic text on the stage. fds0, fds1, fds2, fds3, etc...

Each of them read a cookie previously written on the computer, and
they show a day of the week. Ex.: Thursday

So, if I write :
for (i=0; i<50; i++) {
trace(fds0)
}
it returns : ThursdayThursdayThursday, wich is good. But I want to do it
dynamically,
with every text field that I have...

So I wrote :
for (i=0; i<50; i++) {
trace(fds+i)
}
it returns : 0 1 2 3 4 5, wich is not good.


So I tried :
for (i=0; i<50; i++) {
trace("fds"+i)
}
it returns : fds0, fds1, fds2, fds3, wich is totally not good.

I need the value of the text field, not its name...

Any ideas ?

Nearly there - try:
for (i=0; i<50; i++) {
trace(this["fds"+i])
}
