Re: [Swftools-common] change text in textfield in child swf generated by swfc

[Eddie Adams]

It should indeed be _root.edittext.myedittext.text !
But it doesnt change the textfield

The second try gives the following error
"edittext.sc", line 4 column 29: error- Illegal argument "variable" to .text

Any ideas

shouldn't that be _root.edittext.myedittext.text ?

If that doesn't work, try setting a variable:
   .text myedittext font=Fontname
         text="set from child" variable=_root.textcontent

and then set "_root.textcontent" from parent.
