flash actionscript: Hey all,

I'm trying to pass my variable from an input text field to another MC by
copying the same input text field in an MC. I want the same info typed in to
show up on another page of the main movie. I'm not getting anything when doing
this. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

try something like this... :

myFirstInput.onChanged = function(){
_root.mySecondMC.mySecondInput.text = this.text;
}

that will make what appears in the text of one appear in the text of the other
simultaneaously

hth
cheers,

Ok, but what if, after looking at my movie, the input text fields aren't within
an MC, but on the main timeline, and in order to have the page that I want
printed it has to be an MC with the previously inputted text fields. Would this
still work?

If you are leaving one frame and going to another where there is to be some
text displayed... then save the first as a variable...

on whatever button/clip/function that moves to the printing movieClip

myVar = myInputText.text;

then on the printing movieClip

myPrintText.text = myVar;

does that make sense?

Ok, so the input text on the main timeline has a variable set (let's say I name
it 40320A) and I go to an MC that will print this input text (because I'm
making the field bigger so the user will be able to read all of their text)
where exactly would I put the code to "remember" the variable from the
timeline? Thanks and sorry I seem a little dense;)

Well for a start you won't name it 40320A... It is bad practice to begin any
named instance with a number... Flash doesn't like it at all...

What is going to take you to the print moveiClip?

if it is a button,

on(release){
var40320A = myInputField.text;
// plus the actions that go to the print area
}

then on the other movieClip, you just use that variable for the text in the
field
