Simple Script Help Please

[Needalittlehelp]

hello!

im creating a little animal game for my 6 year old niece. ive used director a few times in the past so my memory is refreashing as i go along in this project. ive come across a slight problem though.

for the first movie i added a editalbe field so who ever is playing the game can enter their name, on the next movie i want it to say "hi " and then their name following the word "hi". i remember doing this when i was first using director but i cant remember the script for it =( if someone could help me out i would really appreciate it.

thanks a million,
forgetful me

You record the text entered in the field as a global variable in one movie then display it on another movie. To record the input, you can do something like: (attach this to a button goes to the next movie):
--
global gName

on mouseUp me
gName = member(“name field”).text
go movie “nextMovie”
end mouseUp
--[/color blue]
The in the next movie, attach the following behaviour to a text sprite:
--
global gName

on beginSprite me
sprite(me.spriteNum).member.text = "Hi," && gName
end beginSprite
--[/color blue]
