title: Actionscript 2 - setProperty
body: <pre><code>setProperty("tvmenuitem"+i, _x, "300");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>works fine.</p>
  
  <p>However how can I set times.text = "1234";</p>
  
  <p>I tried:
      setProperty("tvmenuitem"+i, times.text, "1234");
  But I get a syntax error.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Property name expected in GetProperty.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My Other problem is</p>
  
  <pre><code>setProperty("tvmenuitem"+i, _y, 100*i);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>doesn't seem to work, the movie clip isn't moved. :(
  If it has to be string how to I typecast it?</p>
