if anyone is trying to return text values with NativeText a StageText wrapper. they will need to edit;

https://github.com/cantrell/StageTextExample/blob/master/src/NativeText.as

add a public get function -

public function get text():String {
return this.st.text;
}

then you can return the NativeText values normally -

nt.text

You should keep references to the dynamically created instances of StageText as you cannot get it by querying the display list (as it is not on display list). You can have the vector of of StageText

var m_vStageTextInstances:Vector<StageText>;

Then after you will just iterate over this vector.

Here's some example code that does what you want inside the iterate-function

public class IterationTest extends Sprite {

    public function IterationTest() {
        createObjects();
        iterate();
    }

    private function createObjects():void {
        for (var i:int = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
            addChild(new TextField());
            addChild(new MovieClip());
        }
    }

    private function iterate():void {
        var numTextObjects:int = 0;
        for (var i:int = 0; i < this.numChildren; i++) {
            var child:DisplayObject = getChildAt(i);
            if (child is TextField) {
                //do your stuff here
            }
        }
    }

}
