Looks like String objects are passed by value instead of by reference.
//create a string variable var myVar:String = "Bob"; //create another string value using the myVar value var myVar2:String = myVar; //change the original myVar value myVar = "Lucy"; //trace myVar Trace(myVar); //outputs "Lucy" //trace myVar2 Trace(myVar2); //outputs "Bob"; -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pete Hotchkiss Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2005 5:08 PM To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Display same value in 3 fields To state the obvious. Why cant the text fields point to a single variable ? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pranav Negandhi Sent: 08 December 2005 16:57 To: [email protected] Subject: [Flashcoders] Display same value in 3 fields Bit of a glitch. I need to display the same value in 3 different locations and was wondering if it's possible to do it in any way other than setting values in 3 text fields. What I'm doing right now - Field1.text = "OK" Field2.text = "OK" Field3.text = "OK" What I'd like to do - GlobalField.text = "OK" [change propogates to 3 instances of the movieclip] I played around a bit with static class variables and feel it might be the right way. Any pointers anyone?
