Hi,  
I’m obviously missing something here and it’s killing me…

The following code works fine except for the ■■■■ dynamic text component. The trace(encrypted); outputs correctly, so the value is there (it’s 17 btw), but encrypted.text = encrypted; does nothing to a dynamic text field on the stage with that instance name. All elements on are sitting in one frame at the root so I can’t imaging that there are targeting issues. What could it be?

submit\_btn.onPress = function() {

var send:LoadVars = new LoadVars;  
var receive:LoadVars = new LoadVars;  
send.toPHP = input.text;  
receive.onLoad = function(){  
encrypted = this.toFlash;  
trace(encrypted);  
encrypted.text = encrypted;  
}  
send.sendAndLoad(“mypath.php”,receive,“POST”);

//end of submit brackets  
};
