title: Changing dyanmic text field in MovieClip added to stage by AS3 is not working?
body: <p>When I change the text value of a dynamic text field, the text field is just going blank, not showing the new value.</p>
  
  <p>I have a MovieClip titled "game_board" that is added to the stage dyanmically by AS3. (stage is blank to begin with.)</p>
  
  <p>I have another MovieClip titled "stage_2" that is added as a child to "game_board" dynamically by AS3.</p>
  
  <p>"stage_2" contains a prebuilt board with different dynamic text fields on it. They all have instance names. For example "text_1". The original value of <code>this.game_board.stage_2.text_1.text</code> is 0.</p>
  
  <p>When I do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>this.game_board.stage_2.text_1.text = "test";
  
  trace(this.game_board.stage_2.text_1.text); //succesfully shows new value, "test"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The trace succesfully shows the new value, however the text field on the stage, which was showing "0", now shows absolutely nothing, it just disappears. I tried running <code>addChild</code> in case it was being moved to the bottom layer for some reason, but that didn't work. Even when the stage only contains that text field, it still just goes blank.</p>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong?</p>
