public _name : String

The instance name of the text field.

Example

The following example demonstrates text fields residing at different depths. Create a dynamic text field on the Stage. Add the following ActionScript to your FLA or ActionScript file, which dynamically creates two text fields at runtime and displays their depths in the Output panel.

this.createTextField("first_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 100, 22);
this.createTextField("second_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 100, 22);
for (var prop in this) {
    if (this[prop] instanceof TextField) {
    var this_txt:TextField = this[prop];
    trace(this_txt._name+" is a TextField at depth: "+this_txt.getDepth());
    }
}

When you test the document, the instance name and depth is displayed in the Output panel.When you test the document, the instance name and depth writes to the log file.
