Setting variable from textinput

Hi.

Firstly, I have searched the forum for related topics and found 2. I have tried to make sense of the code involved to make it work with my current project but nothing works.

As the title says, I require a string to be given the value from a textinput. As this was not working in my main project I created another simple AS3 file.
The user should just type in their name in scene 1. By pressing a button I trace the variable as a test and on scene 2 I should see the users name, but no.

Here is the link. Excuse any crudeness in the coding, it was thrown together for a quick test.

Please can someone either show me or point me in the right direction and what is wrong.


Thanks.

I forgot - without finding the threads again I can't remember whether or not it said what AS versions they were on. I'm working with AS 3 and don't know whether the code I have used is AS 2 or 3.
