Is there a way to display text in a dynamic text field taken from a input text field?

Im pretty sure that would work, but youll need to update the flash-file after having put in the text (ex. use an “update”-button).

Ex:

on (press){  
txtBoxDynamic.txt = txtBoxInput.text;  
}

You want it to be syncronized? (as you type in the input text it will appear in the dynamic textfield?)
