I can do this:

print “\_root.textbox=$myvariable”

but this won’t work:

print “\_root.textbox\*\*.text\*\*=$myvariable”

I nedd it to be .text so ican scroll the textbox! any ideas???

you only need to output something like like ‘myVar=$myvariable’, and then use a script like this:

```auto

lv = new LoadVars()
lv.onLoad = function(success) {
if(success) {
_root.textbox.text = this.myVar
} else {
trace("failed")
}
}
lv.load("myScript.php")

```

hope this helps 🙂

hehe no problem 😉

if you’re loading html, then replace this line:

```auto
_root.textbox.text = this.myVar

```

with

```auto
_root.textbox.htmlText = this.myVar

```

🙂
