title: display variable value, flash actionscript
body: <p>I'm building a very simple questionnaire in flash cs5. My timeline consists of an intro frame, three question frames and a results frame. Each of the question frames allows the users to select 1 of 5 answers choices (buttons) and then proceeds to the next question. I want to capture their button selection, store it in a variable and display it on the results page. </p>
  
  <p>I placed the following actionscript below on each question frame (variable names change accordingly ie secondq, thirdq, a_second, a_third..) to capture the user's anwser. Then in the results frame, I created a text box for each anwser, made it dynamic, and set the variable name (firstq, secondq, thridq) as the value.  The variables only appear in the results frame if I select the first button for each question, all other answers are not appearing in the results frame. Any help would be appreciated.  </p>
