Control values in Keyframe 3 from Keyframe 1

[bhav27]

Hello Community

I've three keyframes in my flash application. In keyframe 1 I have textboxes and comboboxes. Depending on the values entered in these controls I generate a chart in keyframe 3.

But I have discovered a problem in flash. I can't access values of these controls in keyframe 1 in keyframe 3.

Is there any solution to this problem.

Please advice.

ur combobox and ur textbox should last till frame keyframe 3

Good point.

But I cant show combobox or textbox together with chart. My keyframe 3 only shows chart.

Say even if it last till keyframe 3.... I can make their visiblity to false.... but thats not a good programming practice.... I've tried accessing through _root.textboxname.text but it does not seems working...... is there any other way.

Please advice

set ur _root.textboxname.text 's value some variable in main timeline
like var var1 = _root.textboxname.text

then access it in 3rd frame

trace(_root.var1 ) or(just var1) // if it is main timeline only

I can't get the value of _root.textboxname.text in frame 3, it show undefined. Although you can access the value if you assign to _global variable. But I dont want to do that.... my requirement is to directly access control's value from any keyframe.

Can anyone else help me solve this problem?

Write no replies here..... so to speed up things.... I've read all control values in the _global variables. now when I go to keyframe 3 I can access their values assigned in _global variables.

I take it Flash has no mechanism to access control's value cross keyframes.
