targeting a dynamic text box

targeting a dynamic text box

I am trying to change the text in a dynamic text box using:

_root.compCardMain1.catATitle.textColor = 0xFF0000;

I thought that this should work but doesn't. How can I make sure I am targeting
the text box correctly. I used a bit of code before to trace where a movie clip
was located, i.e. trace this mc path, but can't remember what it was.

The text box is inside an mc that is being duplicated using duplicate movie
clip.

Any ideas on how to check this?

TIA,

Adrian
