How can I read the value of a dinamic text to another var ?

[ivelton]

I have one dinamic text (named moviename) the needs to read a value from the text.

I load the text file using :
loadVariablesNum ("movies.txt", 0);

this work fine, the dinamic text on the screen shows the right value from the txt file

the problem is , in the following line I need to use the text value to open a movie clip, using something like :

loadMovie(moviename, 0);

it doesn't work.
even if I use trace(moviename) it doesn't display the text field value, but only the text field name

I've tried to access the text value using :
trace(moviename);
trace(moviename.value);
trace(moviename.String);

and doesn't work;

Somebody knows a way to read the value of a dinamic text field ?

Thank you very much for the help
