Method 1 =

Give dynamic textbox a var name in the properties panel

Use this on a frame to give it text…

[AS]varNameYouGave = “text you want here”;[/AS]

The double quotes are important because they define a string of text.

Method 2 =

Give your dynamic textbox an instance name in the properties panel

Use this on a frame to give it text…

[AS]textBoxInstanceNameYouGave.text = “text you want”;[/AS]

Method 3 = loading it in
