Dynamic text field for names

[haznut]

Hello!

I´m doing a simple flash with 3 frames. First frame ask for your name. The second one is a mini drawing board..and the third one is an exit message.

What i need to do and can´t find out how, is to set a field on the first frame so the user can type in his/her name, and then appear on frame 3 on the exit message.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanx a lot for your time.

For the first frame, you can use an inputfield.
In your code, you have a variable that holds the information from frame 1 and display it on frame 3 in an dynamic TextField.

Thanx again.

If you on your first frame have a input TextField with the instance name
nameInp and on the third frame have a dynamic TextField named nameDyn. Also have some sort of button to go to the next frame, named nextBtn

Make a as-file named Main.as

package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

public class Main extends MovieClip
{
private var myName:String = ""; //Will hold the inputname
public function Main()
{
gotoAndStop(1);
nextBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
}
private function onClick(mouse:MouseEvent):void
{
myName = nameInp.text;
gotoAndStop(2);
}
}
}


When you come to frame 3, you add this code
name_dynamic.text = myName;
