Hi i have a question.  
I made a flash file were people can fill in there name and then press enter and lateron there name will be visable in a other textfield with in the clip.  
Now i made the following script in frame 1:

```auto
enter_btn.onPress = function() {
    if (input != undefined && input != "" && input != "fill in please"){
        email = input;
        gotoAndPlay(2);
    } else {
        input = "fill in please";
    }
}

```

this works great, ‘input’ will bring the filled in name too the textfield with the var called ‘email’.

Now i moved the ‘email’ var within a different movieclip with a instance name of form.  
When i fill in the name in the beginning the ‘input’ var and ‘email’ var are not communication nomore. How can i make sure ‘input’ will give the data to the ‘email’ within the other movieclip ?

Can someone help me please ?
