Trouble creating text fields

flash 8 pro

here's one:

the way can create text field to:

- create 1 using action script, or
- copy existing 1 on stage , paste new one.

if try create new 1 on stage, doesn't seem enabled.


for clarity, didn't have problem yesterday. yesterday, created number of text fields on stage, , seem work.

today, follow same path, text field appears on stage, when execute app, field isn't there anymore.

to test it, used getdepth find out of fields hidden somewhere. while text fields created yesterday returned depth, new ones don't.

if copy 1 of yesterday's fields , rename it, works fine.

so isn't huge problem, i'm worried possibility have create new field sometime, , don't have old 1 copy.

any ideas?
