saving text input in variables for later use 1

[flashbbeb]

I am creating a simulation where users enter data in text input fields, and should see what they entered later on (as in they should see what they entered in a movie clip that displays further in the presentation). How would I implement this without the use of an external text file and server side script?

Thanks!

If the data is to be used within the same session you can just store it in a variable.

If you need to retrieve the data at later time you can use SharedObject.

Actually, I looked at an old post where it happened to be you who recommended creating an array of names. From there, I just created dynamic text fields in a later keyframe that brought in the inputted text data. I'll give the Shared Objects method a try, too.

So double thanks for your help on that one!


What I did:

var textitems = [];
stuff.text = new Array();

saveItems.onRelease = function() {
textitems[0] = userName;
textitems[1] = address;
textitems[2] = zip;
}

mover.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("changed");
}

stop();
