Working with movie clips

The MovieClip class is the core class for animation and movie clip symbols created in Adobe Flash CS3 Professional. It has all the behaviors and functionality of display objects, but with additional properties and methods for controlling a movie clip's timeline. This chapter explains how to use ActionScript to control movie clip playback and to create a movie clip dynamically.

I tried to place a dynamic textfield inside of a custom MovieClip with 3 Frames: rollover,rollout and press. They are got labels with the same name. On each of this frames I got a textfield, each with the same instance name (for 3 states of the clip). So far so good....but when I gonna switch the frame to a label in a event the textfield becomes null and will be never callable again....what should I do here? Seems to be a bug?

Greets, Jean.
