Remembering name

[Gorfy]

If I want to make a game where the user types their name in at the beginning and then later on if they do something good it says "Well done (their name)!"

How would I go about it?

Thanks

//frame 1 create a var to hold the username
var username

// setting the username from the imputbox
_root.username = myimput.text;

//calling the name back later
myshowname.text = "Well done " + _root.username;


if you want to remember the username each time they come back to your site - read up on shared objects.

thanks, unfortunately i'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this kind of thing so i'm still a little confused.

I put the var username in frame 1

But then where do the other bits of code go

I asume I use an input box for them typing their name, and a dynamic text box for displaying it later.

Basicly I haven't used variables or input/dynamic text before so it's all new to me.

Wait, got it working.

Thanks for the help
