inputed text copy

[scott44441]

ive looked in the tutorials sections and have not found anything yet...

but how do you make a movie or scene that has an input text variable on it and whatever you input will appear on the next frame as a static text?

If you were to input your name and pushed a button that checked it and on the next keyframe it would have your name on it.

on the button put:

code:

---

 on (release) {

_root.nameVar = _root.inputNameText;

} 

---

then on the next key frame put:

code:

---

 _root.displayNameText = _root.nameVar; 

---

_root.inputNameText is the input box variable name, and _root.displayNameText is the dynamic text box variable name.

cool it works!!! sometimes i see though that the text on other movies are static text. (the one on the next frame)

how would i do that?

Umm, they cant be static text. It is probably dynamic text with the selectable option turned off and the background option turned off also (properties panel)
