FLASH: Passing user entered text variables between MCs

[James Cutts]

Hello


Im having problems passing user entered text variables between MCs

(not loaded movies) in Flash 5.

Can anyone point me towards a tutorial covering this subject?

The Flash 5 help doesnt seem to cover it.


The structure is as follows:


MAIN TIMELINE - Button action as follows:

     I          MC1/MC2/MC3:name2 = MC1:name;

     I             

     I   

     I   

    MC1 - variable "name" entered here

         (text field assigned variable "name")

     I

     I

    MC2

     I

     I

    MC3 - variable "name' displayed here

     I   (text field assigned variable "name2")


Probably way out but I've tried every way I can think of.


Any help will be very gratefully received.


Thanks


J
