Okay what i have got is a stats bar called scores inside it i have three dynamic text boxes I want to display the variables  
[LIST]  
[_]\_global.killed  
[_]\_global.money  
[\*]\_global.toKill  
[/LIST]  
So i assumed that i could just assign the variable to the box via the properties bar. No luck i then tried to have the mc called scores saying this.moneyDisplay.text (name of dynamic box) = \_global.money still no luck not sure what else to try. Most successful was assigning the variable but that only got me a 0 which was the starting variable what should i do??  
Any help would be much appreciated
