Getting the value from a dynamic text field

Navarone · September 23, 2009, 11:52am

I have a global variable I set inside a for loop and I assign the value to a dynamic text box. I need to access that value in the next frame of my movie but for some reason I can’t even though the text box shows the value. How do you pass a needed value from within a function to another frame?

ActionScript Code:
[LEFT][COLOR=#0000FF]trace[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#FF0000]"id = "[/COLOR]+id[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];

myDataText.[COLOR=#0000FF]text[/COLOR] = id;
[COLOR=#808080]//_root.stop();[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#808080]//LOAD ID txt FILE [/COLOR]
