[RESOLVED] How do I put User Submitted input text into dynamic textboxes on other frames

[Jaff]

I have an input text box with the instance inputnameone. On another page I have a dynamic text box with the instance outputnameone. When I press button with the instance "submit", I want the information in inputnameone to go into output name one. From the basic as3 I've been able to learn I've written this actionscript:

submit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, transfernameone);
function transfernameone(e:MouseEvent):void {
outputnameone.text = inputnameone.text;
}

This works fine if the output box is on the same frame as the input box, but not if the output box is on a later occurring frame. If it is on a later occurring frame, I get this error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at filename_fla::MainTimeline/transfernameone()

How can I fix this?

Store the text of your input field in some variable on the first frame, and when you switch to the next frame assign this variable's value to the text field's text property.
Something like:

var inputText:String;
submit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, transfernameone);
function transfernameone(e:MouseEvent):void {
          inputText = inputnameone.text;
}

When you switch to the next frame, do this:

secondFrameTextField.text = inputText;

That worked perfectly! Thanks!
