communication between text fields

[pranster]

I have a percentage preloader...where I have an animated movie clip which has a text field which keeps rotating on the screen..

How do I transfer the data of the text field which shows the percent loaded to the text field inside the movieclip

[deva_station]

use dynamic text fields and give each one a unique variable name; put one of them (percentage) inside the movieclip, the other on the main timeline.

movieclip code:

onClipEvent(enterframe){
this.percentage=_root.percent; //percent and percentage are 2 different variable names.
}

time line code.

percent=_root.getbytesLoaded;
....
....
blah blah
