you say textfield, all I can find (in components) is text area, or text input. I tried both and used the instance name of myText and renamed the library item to myText. the linkage remains the name of the component though. I also tried just using the text tool and drew out a textbox but left it empty, made sure to name its instance of myText


Am I correct that your code should be on frame one of letterspot_mc? I did try there, and also on frame one of the scene

thanks again for your help, your descriptions of the code were great.
