This might be a simple one, but I could not find a thread…

I have a form that captures a users name with the variable firstname, it then goes onto the next frame where I need to call the variable again inside another mc called grey.

but when I submit the form variable “firstname” it does not appear is it cos its sitting inside another MC.

Any sug.
