OnRelease problem! easy one i guess CS4

[Trekz]

Hi guys. I really hope that you will be able to help me out on this one! it been a pain in the *** to find a solution.

I got this movieclip. With actionscript i attached a new movieclip to this one, as a popup menu, which will show on rollover. Inside this movieclip, it automatically makes textfields, as menu options (information i recieve from a XML document)
The problem is, that i cannot get it to respond on a onRelease function on those text fields, and i do not know why.

Heres the code for the textfields

marray = explode(",",mn);
                    var sizes = 0;
                   
            for(var i=0;i<=marray.length - 1;i++){
                trace(i);
               
                    mc.menu1.createTextField("txt"+i, i+59, 0, sizes, 100, 25);
                    mc.menu1["txt"+i].onRelease = function() {
                    getURL("http://pos.dk", "_blank");
                    };
                    mc.menu1["txt"+i].text = marray[i];  

                    sizes = Number(sizes) + 25;


            }

As you see, i tried to make a onRelease on one of the links, but it just wont work probably, whats the fix for this?

Hope someone will be there for my rescue

Textfield.onRelease? that doesn't exist. onRelease works for buttons and/or Movieclips.

Allright thanks. So may i ask what you would suggest me to do?

duplicate/create movieclips in each of which you create a texfield. Put the onRelease on those movieclips.

Can you post any kind of example please? Really appreciate your help

Just use exactly the same routine, but instead of creating "txt"+i, create "mc"+i. Then inside each mc create one textfield. Then you can say:
mc.menu1["mc"+i].onRelease
and
mc.menu1["mc"+i].txt.text = marray[i];

Here's the doc for createEmptyMovieClip. The example contains exactly what you need (creation of a mc with a textfield inside)

Thank you! I did this, and the part where it makes the mc works just perfect! the problem is there still though, i tried every combination. this.onRollOver=function() { }
container.onRollOver=function() { } and everything else, it just wont register the rollover.

Got it to work finally. sorry i cant post the solution, but there was no "golden" solution for this one, i rearranged the whole code.
thanks for the code.
