Default Taking One Value From Frame And Displaying It In Another Frame
Hi.. Please Help

ii have two values in frame two that ii want to display in frame 3 how do ii do this ii have already written some code but unsure if it is correct...

well it doesn't work as the values don't actually show up.

Frame 2 Coding:

ActionScript Code:
var game:XML;

var Characters1:MovieClip;
var Characters2:MovieClip;

var C1 = Math.floor(Math.random()*(1+8-2))+2;
var C2 = Math.floor(Math.random()*(1+8-2))+2;
var CName1 = C1 - 2;
var CName2 = C2 - 2;

generatecharacterbox();

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete, false, 0, true);
loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError, false, 0, true);
loader.load(new URLRequest("game.xml"));

var numGoes:Number = 10;

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, numCount);
function numCount(event:Event) {
    
    if(numGoes == 0)
    {
        gotoAndStop(3);
    }
}

function onComplete(evt:Event):void
{
    try
    {
        game = new XML(evt.target.data);
        readByName();
        loader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
        loader.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError);

    }
    catch (err:Error)
    {
        trace("Could not parse loaded content as XML:\n" + err.message);
    }
}

function onIOError(evt:IOErrorEvent):void
{
    trace("an error ocured when attempting to load the XML.\n" + evt.text);
}

function readByName()
{
    //trace(game.cards);
    //trace(game.cards.card.name);
    //trace(game.cards.card.name[0]);
    //trace(game..name);
    //trace(game..card);
    //trace(game..card.*);

    //trace(game.title);
    //trace(game.title.nodeKind());
    trace(C1);
    trace(C2);
    
    C1 = Math.floor(Math.random()*(1+8-2))+2;
    C2 = Math.floor(Math.random()*(1+8-2))+2;
    CName1 = C1 - 2;
    CName2 = C2 - 2;
    
    Characters1.gotoAndStop(C1);
    Characters2.gotoAndStop(C2);
    CharactersName1.text = String(game.cards.card.name[CName1]);
    CharactersName2.text = String(game.cards.card.name[CName2]);
    attack1.text = String(game.cards.card.attack[CName1]);
    attack2.text = String(game.cards.card.attack[CName2]);
    damages1.text = String(game.cards.card.damages[CName1]);
    damages2.text = String(game.cards.card.damages[CName2]);
}

function generatecharacterbox()
{
    Characters1 = new Pokemonbox();
    Characters1.x = 140;
    Characters1.y = 150;
    stage.addChild(Characters1);

    Characters2 = new Pokemonbox();
    Characters2.x = 410;
    Characters2.y = 150;
    stage.addChild(Characters2);
}

myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,checkValue);

function checkValue(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    
    numGoes--;
    
    var playerScore = int(playerScoreScreen.text);
    var computerScore = int(computerScoreScreen.text);

    if (game.cards.card.damages[CName1] == game.cards.card.damages[CName2])
    {
        winner.text = "Draw";
        trace("Draw");
    }
    else if (game.cards.card.damages[CName1] > game.cards.card.damages[CName2])
    {
        playerScore++;
        winner.text = "Player Wins";
        
        trace("Player Wins");
    }
    else
    {
        computerScore++;
        winner.text = "Computer Wins";
        
        trace("Computer Wins");
    }

    trace(computerScore);
    trace(playerScore);
    
    playerScoreScreen.text = playerScore.toString();
    computerScoreScreen.text = computerScore.toString();
    goesLeft.text = numGoes.toString();
}

GenerateCards.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,generation);
function generation(event:MouseEvent)
{
    readByName();
}

stop();

Frame 3 Coding:

ActionScript Code:
stage.removeChild(Characters1);
stage.removeChild(Characters2);

playerFinalScore.text = playerScoreScreen.toString();
computerFinalScore.text = computerScoreScreen.toString();

Thanks in advance to any responds.

Make variables for the texts (outside of the functions) in the frame two and save your values to them (in or outside of the functions)

Frame 2 Coding:
ActionScript Code:
var text1:String = "text1 from frame 2";
var text2:String = "text2 from frame 2";

and put them in the textfields on frame three

Frame 3 Coding:
ActionScript Code:
tf1.text = text1;
tf2.text = text2;

// in the text field object "tf1" should read now: text1 from frame 2
// and in the text field object "tf2" should read now: text2 from frame 2

Thanks for posting..

what if the values ii want to get out of the text box arent static values..

Its a top trumps game so the value of score could change depending upon what the score each player gets.

if you get me?

Cos on game the player scores 4 and the computer scores 6 or whatever ii want to be able to add it in rather than just state the value is this no matter what the outcome..

When it runs it just comes up with [object... in the space which ii dont know why.

You may put single enterframe function to the frame 2 which updates the text fields that are on the stage
  1. In this pseudocode we have text fields "textfield1" and "textfield2" in the frame 2 and text fields "textfield3" and "textfield4" in the frame 3.
    *
  2. We also have to strings "text1" and "text2" that are defined in the frame 2.
    *
  3. Enterframe function "updateTextFields" in the frame 2 checks in which frame user is and if user is in frame 2 it puts value of the "textfield1" to string "text1" and the value of the "textfield2" to string "text2".
    *
  4. If user is in frame 3 the content of the "text1" and "text2" will be changed and the enterframe function "updateTextFields" in the frame 2 will put those values to the text fields "textfield3" and "textfield4" in the frame 3

frame 2
ActionScript Code:
var text1:String;
var text2:String;

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateTextFields);

function updateTextFields(e:Event):void
{
    if ( currentFrame == 2 )
    {
        text1 = textfield1.text;
        text2 = textfield2.text;
    } 
    else if ( currentFrame == 3 )
    {
        textfield3.text = text1;
        textfield4.text = text2;
    }
}

frame 3
ActionScript Code:
text1 += 1;
text2 += 2;
