Hi everyone

I am just a bit stuck at the moment with this slight problem.

I have this dynamic text field which is displaying my movie’s loading information.

What i would like to do is to simply allow this information to be displayed in another dynamic text field which is embeded in a movieclip on another level.

To be honest I just have no idea on how to write this piece of code, any help  
or links to how to do this will be most welcomed

kind regards

One easy workaround, I´m sure there are more professional ways of doing it… In pseudo-code, just for illustration purposes:

Make an empty movieclip, looping 3 frames as follows:

frame one  
(set variable)  
destination\_dinamic\_text\_field.text=the\_variable being displayed in the original one

frame two  
nothing

frame three  
gotoandplay frame 1

Hope this helps!
