Outputting variables in Flash MX

[The]

My friend is learning Flash MX, but he didn't want to sign up on the forums, so I'm asking this question for him:

How to you output variables in Flash MX?

Pretty simple. I'm betting there's just a short little command/function or something to do it. Thanks.

Output to a text file? A db?

You can easily read variables from a text file, but to output them you'll most probably need some server side scripting.

No, not output to a text file (I guess my wording was bad). I just mean write a variable on the screen, like the user's score or something.

A dynamic textfield with the variable's name set in the Var box, or in MX as...

my_textfield.text = the_variable;

Maybe this...
