Answer 1

The reason you're getting this error is because the array n contains 3 strings (n1, n2 and n3). So when you say: n[i].text, you are trying to set a non-existent property on a string.

If h1, h2 and h3 are the instance names of your text boxes, in your loop use this instead:

this["h"+i+1].text = "hello";

This code will reference the h1, h2 and h3 text boxes now. The reason there is a +1 added to i is because you are starting at 0, yet your first text box has a 1.
