Hi, pal!

Well, I copy-paste your code in a new Flash project and ran it... well, nothing happens! I mean that NOTHING really happens, no fields created. In fact, I didnt analized your code, just tested it.

Anyway, to change the position of the new created fields, you should just use the _x property, this way:

this["text"+i]._x = thenewposition;

To center the field in the exact middle of your stage, you could do:

thenewposition = (Stage.width)/2;
this["text"+i]._x = thenewposition;

Hope it helps!

000PPS sorry i added a "s" to the command createTextField by mistake, here it is completed, but i dont think you code would work though....

text_width = 20;
text_height = 20;
numfields = 10;

for(i = 0; i < numfields; i++){
this.createTextField("text"+i,i,60,20*i,text_width ,text_height);
this["text"+i].border = true;
this["text"+i].text = "ok";
format = new TextFormat();
format.getTextFormat();
format.setTextFormat(format);
}

but i think i found a solution by creating an mc to hold the textfields and move the mc and not the fields themselves.....
