a little variable questions with some actionscript

[RedAbode]

Is this possible?

say i have keyframe 1 and keyframe 2 both with stop(); actions with them.

And i have a blank input text box in frame 1 and give it a variable name like hmwk

And i have a dynamic text box in frame 2 and give it a variable name like result



and when i type somthing in the input text box and click a button on frame one that says "change" i can go to frame 2 and the dynamic text box will now hold the text you typed in the input box in frame 1.

Well if you put this code on the button:

on(release)
{
    result = hmwk;
    gotoAndStop(2);
}

thanks, but now how would i take it a step farther and this time make it so the result gets saved to a .txt file so next time i go to that frame2 it will say the last thing i typed in the input text box

so what do i put after

stop();

//create the local Shared Object
myLocalSO = sharedobject.getLocal("flashcookie" );

Data that is to be saved into the sharedobject is put into the data property of the newly created shared object:

myLocalSO.data.myVariable = "Hello World!";

But it still isn't saved to disk. As it is now the data is saved to disk when the object/movie is closed. But by calling the flush() method of the shared object you can tell the player to save the data to the disc. Wich can be useful to make sure that the data isn't lost due to browser crashes or other unpredicted terminations of the projector/player.

myLocalSO.flush() // saving the sharedObject to the HD.

Now when we have the data saved to disc and we open the object next time we can find myVariable inside the data property of the shared object.

I attached a simple example fla.

no, i appreciate your help lol sorry i later on realised i posted the wrong code.. i need a code to go with that box.. that will save obviously but i want it to like save to a .txt file so then i can recall it from any computer anywhere and it will say the very last thing i typed in.

To save a textfile you have three options:

1:st option is to use some serverside script that store the variables on a webpage. I guess this is usable by webpages or it'll require a internetconnection to work.

2:nd if you want to make a projector dig out out flash 5, if you have it. when using flash 5 projectors you can actually save all variables and stuff in the main timeline into a textfile with a fscommand:

fscommand("save", "filename.txt");

3:rd option is to use a 3:rd party app like flash studio pro:
