clearing text input fields

[Rocket 77]

I am working on a game in flash. at the end of the game you can enter your name, address etc. and your name will apeear in the high score list. Also an email will be sent with this info.

Everything works fine with one exception: if you play the game and enter your data, then click on new game and play the game again, when you get to the screen at the end to enter your name etc. you can still see the old info you entered the first time.

So my question is: how can I clear the data from text input fields in flash?

Thanks in advance for any and all help!

ensure that inputField_txt = the instance name of the text field you wish to clear, for example myTextField.text=""; or textFieldOne.text=""; where the instance names of the text fields are myTextField abd textFieldOne respectivly.

Yo I did that already. Is it important that the Button to clear the text and the text fields are all on the same frame in the timeline? When a person enters his info and clicks on submit the timeline goes to the next frame and displays a message. And here on this frame is the button to where this code would be.
