i am basically trying to create an extended contact form with multiple frames. Below is what I have:

frame 1 =

\_global.testtext = “blank”;

button.onPress = function(){  
\_global.testtext = “new text value”;  
}

frame 2 =

onEnterFrame = function(){  
test.text = \_global.testtext;  
}

text box still displays “blank”

any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
