Probably very easy actionscript problem...

[seanmcdonough]

i have 2 dynamic text fields.

one will have either nine 1's in them, eight 1's in them,
etc etc, all the way to zero 1's.
something like this "111111111" or "11111111" etc.

i want the other text field to be able to tell me how
many 1's are in the other text field using a switch statement.

so, if there are 8 1's, the other dynamic text field will
show me an 8.

can anyone help?

textbox2.text = textbox1.length;

textbox1 and 2 instance names

Or with a variable in the textfields...

stop();

trace(length(test1.text));
trace(length(test1var));

test2.text = length(test1.text);
test2var = length(test1var);
