variable setting

[Ourlivinghell]

In flash mx pro 2004, how do I change variables?
Ive got a textbox with the variable name 'talk', and in the frame actions ive put

text = 10;

and it doesnt change the text.
and yes, they are on the same timeline.
This is what id do on Flash 5, but on mx it doesnt work, please help!

If the variable name is talk then you need to say

talk = 10;

Or, if the instance name is "talk", then you'd put:

_root.talk.text = "10";
