How to redo a string

I'm building a form for users and gathering their information using simple strings like

var contactFirst:String = contactFirstName.text;

The problem I'm having is at the end of the form, I ask the user if they made a mistake to go back and correct it before continuing. On the button they press after correcting their mistake I have the same code:

var contactFirst:String = contactFirstName.text;

Assuming it will wipe the string and put in the newly inputted information. It doesn't. If Johnny changes his name to Tommy, the system still calls him Johnny.

help?

and don't use the var prefix or you'll make contactFirst local to that method and unavailable outside it.

almost. the onChanged method should be applied to your textfield, not your textfield's text property.

Thanks, Kglad.

Not sure I'm getting you, though. Would the right usage be:

contactFirstName.text.onChanged = function() {
var contactFirst:String = contactFirstName.text;
}

?

use the onChanged method of textfields to assign your variable's value.
