thanks for the help. for the next project i'll tell the designer that's
how i want it done. problem is that i'm already 90% done with the
project and i was hoping for a solution that didn't involve the designer
at this stage. i could change everything myself but at this point it's
too much work. thanks!

On your "local" frame, you'd have the money.amount.text field present,
but either set _visisble=false with AS, or change the alpha to 0 in the
property inspector. Then, when the playhead gets to "remote", you'd
change to _visible=true or the alpha back to 99.9 in the property
inspector for the text field. That way you can set the field text
without it showing in the first 'frame'. It's a technique that works for
almost any asset that needs to be updated/set X frames deep into a
timeline.

Let's say you have a MC with 2 frame labels ("localPlayer" and
"remotePlayer" for example) and then you have different movie clips
inside that MC. Something like this:
|local____|remote_______
ammo |xxxxxxxxx|
life | |xxxxxxxxxxxxx
money | |xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Then you want to do something like this in your AS code (assuming
you've previously stopped on "local"):
gotoAndStop("remote");
money.amount.text = "$100";
This wouldn't work because you have to wait one frame before you'd be
able to access money but what's your prefered way of waiting one
frame? Is there a real easy way to do it without putting AS code in
your timeline and without using setInterval(..) to wait one frame?
I hope I've just missed something that's real easy in flash.
