Hi there. I have a problem that has stumped me for days. My main SWF file, “working\_login.swf” has a movieclip that loads another SWF file, called “membership.swf”. [http://www.rsupra.com/members/working\_login.swf](http://www.rsupra.com/members/working_login.swf) It loads this SWF file inside of a movie clip which, upon a press of a button, tweens the movie clip containing the “membership.swf” onto the screen. membership.swf allows you to login using “testing” as the user, and “testing” as the password. MY PROBLEM: I have NO idea how to dynamically change the username\_txt dynamic text on the main swf. What I want: I want it to display “Hello, guest!” when there is noone logged in and no cookie set. I want the program, upon someone logging in as “testing” to have the dynamic text box display “Hello, testing!” upon a successful login. Right now, I have absolutely no idea how to go about this. I am using a class to set the dynamic text, but I cannot figure out for the life of me how to set it up to recognize a guest VS someone logged in. These are the following files that I am using: [www.rsupra.com/flash/membership.fla](http://www.rsupra.com/flash/membership.fla) [www.rsupra.com/flash/working\_login.fla](http://www.rsupra.com/flash/working_login.fla) [www.rsupra.com/flash/Greeter.as](http://www.rsupra.com/flash/Greeter.as) Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
