i have  dynamic text box playersnameoutput instance name set on screen inputted text supposed display.

 

thanks

go publish settings , turn on permit debugging, line numbers errors. being said have:

 

var playersnameoutput:textfield = new textfield();

 

and then:

 

playersnameoutput.text = playersnameoutput;

 

playersnameoutput text field... not string. have inside function nothing:

 

function textinputcapture(event:textevent):void
{
    var playersnameoutput:string = playersnameinput.text;
}

 

there, playersnameoutput local variable - not exist outside function. need use different variable names...
