I have this code in my frame which dynamically makes a listbox with the name of all days in it

this.attachMovie(“FComboBoxSymbol”, “myList”, 1, {\_x:100, \_y:100});  
myData =[“Monday”, “Tuesday”, “Wednesday”, “Thursday”, “Friday”, “Saturday”, “Sunday”];  
for(var i=0; i\<myData.length; i++) myList.addItem(myData\*);  
myList.setChangeHandler(“show”);  
function show(obj){  
var selected = obj.getSelectedItem().label  
trace(selected)  
//Your code to use the selected value  
}

Now I kept one push button in other frame and kept in the action part

on(click)  
{  
trace(myList.getselectedItem().Label);  
trace(myData[2]);

}  
but I am not getting any output  
How can I access variables from other frame.  
Thanks

PS: Also, the line List.setChangeHandler(show(List)); doesnt seems to work
