Flash MX Professional 2004, Input Boxes Var Names

Post by genetix »

I ran into a problem with an application I'm making called Flash Chat. Its a flash program that servers as an instant messanger.

I have run into the problem of assigning the information in a text box to a variable.

I have a status box which I want to update with status when a user submits a post.

To make it easyer to understand I have uploaded my script to my webserver. ( you dont have to enter in a name just hit submit)

Here is the script:
http://24.72.3.251/hosting/flashchat_beta.fla

Here is it published:
http://24.72.3.251/hosting/flashchat_beta.swf

If anyone has extensived knowledge of Flash and Actionscript and they use msn please send me a pm with your email. I have a few smaller questions to ask aswell.


(The little input box above the message input box is the status field.)

you need to assign the variable from the username input to the user text field in the chat window......

Also, you should have al your ActionScript code in one "actions" layer to make it easier to follow.
