Hiya, I'm having quite a problem with a textfield that has a variable defined in the properties bar that it is bound to. The variable that is set in the var field is a property of an object like this: ActionScript Code: object.textProperty
The object is initialized and I can trace the property from the frame that the textField exists on though the teftfield will not display it. This isn't a text embedding problem as I'm using system fonts and tracing the .text property of the textfield so I know what's in it. I have tried setting the variable to update every second and also re-initializing the object and adding the property again to try and get the textfield to update but it's not working. I can't get the textfield to read a variable that is a property of an object that exists on the same frame so this isn't a targetting issue. I can get the textfield to show and update a variable that is declared in the normal way: ActionScript Code: var myVar:String = "my test string"; but once it is inside an object it won't work. I have inherited this project and so I can't change the way the variables are targeted as it will be too much work (there are over 120 text fields) all I can do is update the variable. The original project worked fine with this technique but now it does not seem to be working at all, I'm not sure how I've broken it! If anyone has any suggestions I would be really glad to hear them as I am very very stuck and have spent hours trying to solve this! Thanks for your help, Ali _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
