accessing parts of an instance in Actionscript/Flash
 

I am using flash, and I have a symbol that has two dynamic text fields in it. I need to access the text fields, and I thought instanceName.textField1 would do it, but it doesn't. I tried searching for the answer, but I can't find one.

Is anyone familiar enough with flash and actionscript to help me out?

say "abc" is the name of the instance.
and "t1" and "t2" are the instance names of your text fields then,

abc.t1.text = " Hello" ;
abc.t2.text = "Wrtilaus" ;

would output "Hello" and "Writlaus" in the two textfields respectively.
