Name inputs

[jumpinjax]

Hi guys,

I want to know how to make a input name field, and make it show up in several parts of my flash.

Example:

If i type in 'Bob' and click 'ok

Then at the top of the screen it said 'welcome Bob' or something similar.


Cheers!

Hey JumpinJax,
I wrote a lil script that store the users name and when you click go it displays their name in a welcome box. The code looks like this:

var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();

go_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sendname);
function sendname (event:MouseEvent):void {
vars.name = name_txt.text;
welcomebox.text = "Welcome " + (vars.name);
}

I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it but it is the only way I know how. Attached is the .fla file if you want to further look at what I did. Basically I'm having the users name stored in "vars.name" so I can reuse vars.name wherever I want the users name to be displayed.

I can't seem to open the fla. file. I am using flash professional 8.

Anyway, i do roughly understand what you are saying. Cheers for your time.
