Hi, I'm a forum newbie, and just starting to learn AS3 (Flash
CS3 on Mac OSX).
I'm hoping someone can steer me towards the source of one
problem (amongst many) I am experiencing.
The code I'm building creates two MovieClips on the stage, in
one it instantiates several text boxes and in the other some
buttons.
What I can't do is access data from the text boxes (e.g.
textField.text) for use in the functions called by the
eventListeners attached the buttons. I had the system all working
nicely before I placed the text boxes and the buttons on separate
movie clips ... but this structure makes it much tidier to refresh
the text I'm using.
The button functions are fine with variables created prior to
the building of the text boxes.
Am I failing to address the text boxes correctly (because
they're on another movie clip) or is there a stage / movie clip
property I need to set so they can see each other ... or is this
something else altogether??
Could it be that the buttons are created before the text
boxes?
Any / all help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Dougal
