Change format of any selected textfield in AS3? - actionscript-3

Question

I create several textfields when the click event is fired. Now I want to change the text format of any selected textfield. But the format is just applied to the last created textfield. I tried the following:
function _txtbtn(e:*):void
{
myText = new TextField();
mc3 = new MovieClip();
myText.text = "text...";
myFormat.font = "Arial";
myFormat.color = txt_color()
myText.setTextFormat(myFormat);
mc3.addChild(myText);
addChild(mc3);
mc3.x = _can.x;
mc3.y = p;
p= mc3.y+mc3.height+10;
mc3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,_select)
}
function _select(e:MouseEvent):void
{
tool_stage.combo.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,_font)
}
function _font(e:Event):void
{
format.font = tool_stage.combo.selectedLabel;
myText.setTextFormat(format);
}

Answer 1

It is right, because the variable myText refers to the last Object.
Instead of this you can get the current TextField object from the Event.
Each event has currentTarget value, which refers to the Object that has fired the Event.
You then can cast the currentTarget to your type and do the action with it.
Unfortunately I don't have your whole code, that is why I have my own version.
Have a look at it, I think it can help you.

(evt.currentTarget as TextField).setTextFormat(newFormat);
}
}
}
